Has anyone used Capsaicin 0.1% Cream successfully for pain relief?
I've been dealing with some pretty nasty nerve pain in my lower back for months now, and my doctor recommended Capsaicin 0.1% Cream 42.5gm. I've heard it can help with nerve pain and reduce the discomfort, but I'm a bit hesitant because of the potential side effects, especially the burning sensation everyone talks about. Is it really that bad? Does it go away with time? I'm also not looking forward to paying 50$ per tube, so I hope it works. I've read that it can cause some irritation and a burning sensation, but how bad is it actually? Any tips on how to manage these side effects if they happen? Also, I’m really curious to know if this cream is worth the money and if the relief it provides is long-lasting or if you have to reapply it constantly. Has anyone tried this before? How long did it take to feel relief? Did you ever get used to the initial burning sensation? As always, any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

I tried it for a week and it did nothing for me. I didn’t experience any side effects, thankfully, but it just didn’t work. Maybe I wasn’t using it right, but it didn’t do a thing for my knee pain.
The burning sensation is no joke at first, but it doesn't last long. After a few days, you get used to it. I use it for my foot pain and it's been a big help. Definitely worth it if you’re dealing with chronic pain.
Make sure you don’t use it on an open sore.
I've been using Capsaicin cream for my neuropathy in my feet and it has been extremely helpful. It's expensive but I think its worth the cost.
I didn't notice any side effects. The burning sensation was there, but it went away quickly enough. I've used it for my hands and it has worked well.
I’ve been using Capsaicin cream for a couple of months now for my arthritis pain. The burning sensation is rough at first, but with consistent use, it does subside. I would recommend giving it a solid 2 weeks to see if it works for you.
Be careful with it. I accidentally got some in my eye and it was the worst experience of my life and I had to go to the emergency room.
I am a bit scared to try it because of the burning sensation. I always find topical treatments a bit scary to try out.
I've used Capsaicin cream for my arthritis and it was a lifesaver. The burning sensation is intense at first but it goes away after a few days. Just apply a thin layer and wait for it to absorb completely before putting on clothes. Definitely worth the money if you're in constant pain!
