This medication did not work for me. I applied as instructed to a soar knee. The burning to my skin was horrible. It blistered by skin. I had to jump into a cold shower and wash my knee for several minutes to relieve the burning. The burning continued about 20 minutes after I finished the cold shower. I thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room, but it finally subsided.

OK. IF SOMEONE DOESNT GET RELIEF FROM THIS, THEY NEED ANOTHER DOCTOR. THIS STUFF WORKS. NORCO QUIT WORKING. OTHER PAIN KILLERS BECAME INEFFECTIVE. BE FORWARNED, 'ITS HOT. THATS WHY IT WORKS THOUGH. IT EVENTUALLY STOPS PAIN.

This stuff sucks! I used it at 9:30 a.m. and it is now 2:15 a.m.! Sixteen hours later and it is still burning my legs. They feel like an extremely bad sunburn with no relief. I have been taking aspirin, washed my legs twice with soap and water, and have showered trying to get this stuff off of me. The palm of my hand is burning too from using it to rub the ointment on my legs! I guess I will be making a trip to see my doctor tomorrow!

Perhaps I put a tad too much on(I don't think so), but my back felt like it was on fire. The pain was 5x worse than that of the injury it was applied for.

This medicine is the worst medicine for arthritis and the pharmacist at Wal~Mart told me it was the best! NOT!!! I put it on and my skin has been burning for almost 5 hours. I have washed and washed my hands. I took a shower and nothing is helping the burning of my skin. It is horrible. I would rather have arthritis in my hands than the burning crap I have went through. I DO NOT recommend this product to anyone and it needs to be taken off the market. Who in their right mind would put chili pepper in an arthritis medicine?? What does it do for arthritis, for me it has cause more agony and pain. I am almost in tears with the pain. I spent $10 for this tube of pain. I am not very pleased with the product as you can tell. I wish I would have read these comments before I went out and bought this product and went through this pain and agony! Good luck to anyone who uses it and may God help you with your pain.Read More Read Less

I rubbed this treatment on my knees and I am terrible pain. It needs to be pulled off the market. Both knees feel like they are on fire and I can't sleep. I putted ice on it to ease the pain and it just helped for a short time and I am still in terrible pain. I went on line to see if something would help only to find that others have been through the same pain I am in. I'm in more pain now than I was beofre I rubbed the medicine on.

I used this capzasin hp for the first time and will never use it again. I know it says to continue, because it may take awhile to start working, but I can't stand the burning. It started about 10 minutes after I applied the cream to my right hand. I washed my left hand and then the burning started!! It was like I had my hands in boiling hot water! The outside skin is perfectly fine, it's the inside that burns. I looked the name"capsaicin" online and found out that it's a red hot chili pepper. The capsaicin amount in the cream is only 0.1%. I must be very sensitive to it. It also says to use a small amount at first to see if you are sensitive to it. Just to let everyone know, heed the warnings!!Read More Read Less
