"i just found out about capzasin today and tried it for the first time for my fibromyalgia. i have otc .025% and while i have only been using it a few hours i am so excited to have found it. the burning sensation is mild compared to my pain and doesn&#039;t bother me in the least. i tried it on one thigh to start and make sure it didn&#039;t bother me too much. i  had so much relief in the one leg i couldn&#039;t wait to use it on the other. 

my only complaint is the smell. it has a strong scent of menthol. i am in most pain at night when trying to sleep so i think i will use it then.  i did read that showering can be uncomfortable but also that a milk compress helps."
