For Postherpetic Neuralgia "I beg to differ; the negative results others are getting are from wrong application. Apply a thin coating only, and it will work great; gradually applying more a little at a time. This has been a lifesaver for me, as I am suffering from shingles, and this has given me much-needed relief. ALERT! Wear gloves or use a paper towel to apply, or it will burn your hands, and always wash hands thoroughly afterward. It will heat up a little, but won’t last."

For Pain "I applied to my neck for pain. It did get rid of the neck pain, but I think that’s because the burning feeling of the medication masked the pain. I felt like my neck was severely sunburned. I was camping, and the burning started when I went outside in the Texas heat. It felt fine inside. Wash your hands. I got some on my nose and eye when I rubbed it. That was pretty bad."

For Pain "I put on this medication for muscle pain, and within ten minutes, the burning sensation got extremely bad. My skin was very red, and the burning was unbearable. Worst experience ever."

For Pain "I used this for knee pain per my doctor's recommendation. I read the instructions and applied the medication. It didn't relieve my pain, it caused more pain. Severe burning, stinging pain. Even showering to wash the medication off was painful. I had to use calamine lotion to counter the effects. Perhaps my skin is more sensitive than others out there, but I would use caution with this medication."
