How quickly will Dr. Scholl’s® Arthritis Pain Reliever work for arthritis pain?

What is Dr. Scholl’s® Arthritis Pain Reliever used for?
Dr. Scholl’s® Arthritis Pain Reliever can be used for the temporary relief of arthritis pain in the hands, wrists, elbows, feet, ankles, and knees. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. It mainly affects a type of tissue called cartilage, which cushions the joints and prevents the bones from rubbing against each other.
With OA, cartilage begins to break down and wear away, resulting in joint pain and stiffness. OA occurs more frequently as you get older. Pain develops slowly and can gradually worsen over time.
