This product is supposed to cause your skin to burn so that your brain is tricked into thinking that the pain is at the skin and not at the joint/muscle. Well, it works . . . the problem is, it burns so badly that you feel like you are on fire . . . and there’s no way to make it stop. I put it on my thumb after having hand surgery to repair a ligament tear and I also used it on my ankle (I’ve had several sprains). OMG, my foot was ON FIRE all night. I slept about 2 hours. I did some research to see how I could stop the burning and found out that, apparently, 1 part bleach to 5 parts water turns the oil into salts that can be washed off. Negative. I am dying. I’ll stick to Aspercreme.

Rx said to apply a small amount…I hurt a VERY LARGE AMOUNT, so I applied “liberally” to my wrist as if this cream wasn’t capsacin…burned the skin. I thought for a while that maybe the burn would distract me from the pain, but that is NOT how it should feel, not to that intensity! I am going to attempt this again tomorrow, in small amount. I might be one of those with thin skin though. I it powerful no doubt.

It worked for me and after I took a shower in the morning after applying it I could still feel a bit of heat but the hour following the initial application I itched. I’ll finish out the tube but I won’t be buying again.

Also, even though I washed my hands after application it seemed like a bit stayed on my hands and transferred when I touched skin.

I really prefer SALONPAS Hot Capsicum Patch – 10 PAK – SAVE $$$ !, it gets hotter, and the patches go on easily. I’ll keep looking for a good pepper cream, this wasn’t it.

Sore feet January 29, 2010 at 5:53 pm: Before reading the reviews here, I tried a menthol product for arthritis which stunk up the house but didn’t do any good. After reading the reviews, I purchased some very hot cayenne pepper from the natural foods store and mixed it with a non-stink cream that seems to work fine. The cayenne was already fine, but I used a mortar and pestle and a very little water to refine it. Then I mixed it with the creme and stored the result in little cups with tops. Now I just rub it on like the stuff in the tubes, but it costs only pennies.

Anybody try this?
