"I prefer the initial pain of application to the pain in my spine, hip, and legs. Be careful going out in the sun, even the day after application, some residual effects will be felt. Wear latex or plastic gloves when applying, and wash your hands after applying. If you touch a part of your body that has Capzasin on it, be sure to rewash your hands and DO NOT touch your eyes without washing your hands!"

"When I lay in bed with osteoarthritis pain and nerve pain... this tends to give a warming sensation to a bit of burning, which takes my mind off the nerve pain, and after a bit (and with my pain meds), I can fall asleep. If you like hot showers in the morning, it may warm up a bit while in the hot shower. I won't live without it. I only use it at bedtime and when the pain is too great to fall asleep."

"All 10 of my toes have felt broken for 1 month. They are not broken, but I have had osteoarthritis for many years. My pain is so bad that I'm on a Medrol dose pack. Last night around 9 pm, I put gloves on and massaged Capzasin-HP onto each toe. I put on loose socks and eventually went to bed around 11:30 pm. I just woke up at 1:25 am screaming and crying from the severe burning. I am a retired ER RN, but had zero knowledge of this. I quickly Googled how to neutralize and quickly dumped a brand new large vanilla yogurt on my toes, and after a good soak and rinse, got back in bed. Now, 20 minutes later, I am burning again severely. I called the Sanofi Medical complaint line, and they're closed with no room for a message. I am so annoyed."

"Capzasin-HP is a wonderful pain reliever. With a history of inflaming joint pain, this product assists me with coping when I experience pain beyond what my body can handle. The warmth it provides lasts for hours into days. I only use this product when the pain interferes with daily activities. As with any product, read the directions carefully. I always apply using a disposable, non-latex glove."
