Capsaicin topical for Neuropathic Pain Reviews
"Well, I was prescribe this capsaicin 0.075% cream, used it on my feet and legs around 11pm. By 1am my sleep was distrupted by the most insane pain ever. 10 out of 10 pain. I’m a 29 year old man that was brought to tears. My partner thought someone had died. The shower made it 100% worst.! What is this nightmare stuff. This product shouldn’t be available. Black list this rubbish and only give it to the people your seriously don’t like.!! AVOID"
"I tried everything on the shelf in my chemist for Neuropathic Pain. Was so debilitated by my pain. Couldn't sleep, drive, sit in particular positions. The burnings a relief initially over my carpel tunnel pain. Neuropathic Pain. Capsaicin is an outstanding cream. I'm smiling again 11/10"
"I had a really bad experience using capsaicin. My. husband rubbed it into my shoulder when I had severe tendonitis, thinking it would reduce the pain. It created such severe burning and itching that I had to shower immediately to get it off, and it didn't relieve it. Months later, my husband had severe pain due to trigger finger. Thinking I might have had an allergic reaction, we applied it to his finger. Again, severe burning and itching that caused his sleep to be disrupted. I wrapped a cold wash cloth around his finger and after awhile it started burning again. I threw the rest of the tube in the trash. Big warning: don't use this unless you don't mind severe burning and itching."
"Works well. I get Qatenza every 3 month only problem is it burn for some 2 days afterwards. I am in the UK and was covers by the NHS."
"This was prescribe by my doctor. I put it on the side of my face, by my ear, felt as if it was on fire, burning so hot, I am not happy with this cream."
"Set my legs on fire, ten fold Had to stop using it. Also affected me when I went to the toilet. Ring of fire for real."
