I have been given capsican cream for my nerve pain and am wondering if anyone has used it successfully for nerve pain relief I’ve been given .0.75 per cent which is high but have been told it’s much harder here I. Uk to get hold of but they can get the much lower strength and if anyone has found the lower strength as good because if I use it it looks like I’m stuck with only being able to get the lower strength I have only the one tube of the higher strength and am told to use it three times a day as it needs to build up is this right thanks for any reply

I've tried it, followed directions properly. It did nothing for me. I now have injections at the pain clinic every six months. They really help me. Hope you find some relief soon.

It did nothing for me. It does however help with extreme nerve itching between my eyebrows.
