pain
"Yes, it burns, even worse after putting it on at night then waking up and taking a shower in the morning. The water hitting it, OH MY! I used capsaicin patches for nerve damage pain in my rib after a car accident. It worked, the more you use it the more effective it was. I am now using it on my neck (cream) my PCP told me it is one of those medications that the more you use it the more benefit you will get....and the less the burn. I am hoping the cream works as well on my neck as the patches did for my rib."
