I don't know how it would work for RSD either. It is not really COLD.... it just has menthol in it which stimulate cold nerves which block the burning heat nerve signals.

RSD is so strange, and reactive, I agree with Daniella to ask around first. The cooling feeling goes away quickly, at least for me. It is great for knees and deeper pains too.

As I mentioned above, the Ilex in it is an antioxidant, and I think it is the major reason Biofreeze works better than other gels with just menthol in them.
