I noticed a reduction in pain upon first application. However, after 4th application I noticed a minor burning sensation on my knee, no doubt from over rubbing. As a result, I appear to have a rash on my knee. There also seems to be no info. on how much rubbing is required i.e. until knee is dry?

You arent really supposed to rub it in, just spread it evenly and let it dry.

I just want to underline how great that product is for me. I have been using it for 3 years now (I am Canadian) on my elbows and knee joints, and love it. I can play softball again without any pain.
