I've been dealing with some pretty severe joint pain lately, and my doctor suggested trying Capzasin 0.15% Liquid. I've read that it can cause a burning sensation at first, but that it helps with pain relief over time. Has anyone else used this? How long did it take for you to see results? Did you experience any side effects? I'm a bit hesitant because the potential side effects seem severe. Any advice would be appreciated!

I recently started using Capsaicin 0.025% Cream for my chronic joint pain, and I'm curious to hear from others who have tried it. The cream is derived from chili peppers and works by reducing a substance that sends pain messages to the brain, but I've experienced some temporary stinging and burning sensations. Do these side effects go away with continued use, or is it better to look for other solutions? Also, has anyone else had issues with skin irritation? I've been curious about what constitutes a severe allergic reaction, so any insight on that would be helpful too. I'm trying to decide whether to continue using the cream or if there might be a better option for pain relief. How do other users find relief with this cream?
