for Pain Relief 2 OZ Capsaicin .1% High Potency/ Maximum Strength

I have diabetic nerve pain. I have had it since November. I started using capzix a couple of weeks ago. It appears to be working. I use it 2 times a day. My nerve pain has diminished. Is it gone yet, no. It is much more manageable. My biggest beef, when my feet heat up in my sneakers, boy howdy it burns. That being said, when it gets hot I take off my shoes. I assume as I lessen my capzix this will lessen. To sum it up is it worth it? Yes. I am hoping it will get better but the nerve pain waking me up I will continue to use capzix. A couple of hints…use a disposable glove to apply or clean your hand throughly. If you think your hand is clean wash it again. Put it on thinly so it can dry quickly. At night I use cotton socks on so it doesn’t get all over the place.

Terrible stuff! How can they sell this? It caused a terrible burning sensation in my hands and I had a hell of a time washing it off! I was afraid of transferring it to more sensitive parts of my body. I am glad I didn't touch my nether regions before thoroughly washing my hands. Wash with cold water. Warm water makes it worse!

This product was suggested for my foot pain and it worked great! Capzix Cream is a maximum-strength formula with high potency 0.1% capsaicin—strong, but very effective. It doesn’t create heat right away, and the directions say NOT to apply external heat since that can make the sensation more intense. Capsaicin works by desensitizing the nerve endings, so even without that heated feeling, the relief is real. Great product—my foot pain is finally manageable!”

I am into week 4 of shingles on my left arm. On the advice of a pharmacist and GP I ordered this. Most of my rash is dry and healing (at that purple stage) but I still have significant pain and post itching all over my arm. I received this in the mail. Well I recommend trying on a small patch of skin first because within seconds my arm was on fire and painful everywhere...even after I washed it off and dabbed it dry. It took almost an hour before it subsided. I don't have any itching or pain now at all on my arm. Supposedly the pain and burning will subside with continued use...for me not sure I will continue as the burning and pain was intense. Maybe a lower dosage would be better

Whew, the heat that comes from this stuff is off the charts, strength is high heat. I used it twice, but somehow I felt like my skin was on fire. The heat was so intense I didn’t think about my joint pain

My wife uses it on her right knee and lower back at least twice a day with relief enough to sleep.

Oh my god this works so fast.

I've tried all kinds of capsaicin cream. I don't find it any hotter than the others. I do apply with a glove as it is still made from chili peppers. But I don't see where it truly helps on my neck pain from nerve damage. It doesn't take down stiff and sore muscles. I've used all kinds of the stuff and I don't find it to be so hot. I have tender and sensitive skin as well, so I thought it might get pretty hot from the reviews but it was not very hot at all. I'm probably going to see if my doctor can recommend a better one. I had used zostrix from a prescription for it once long ago and it was much hotter and I did find relief but it is not made any longer so possibly he knows another brand that is hot and will work cause it does take the heat in the chili peppers to work well. Didn't make the skin red or anything but it was a very very slight heat but very weak. It's not returnable so check before buying. It's like very mild peppers and not any that were hot cause it's not hot on sensitive skin and I am elderly as well and I normally have to be careful with using capsaicin cream but not this one. It's not much more than a regular cream. Not to me anyway but I do use a glove so I don't get it in my eyes and I touched my mouth once and it did burn a little bit cause it was wet. Maybe it was because I have used prescription strength before and then it's probably totally different.
