"I was prescribed Gabapentin at high levels, Naproxen, and Celebrex for pain and was not working so well. I asked the doctor for a prescription for Zostrix HP 0.075 topical cream for compressed nerve in my hip, which had caused numbness and hot shooting pain on the outer leg above the knee. The first time I applied it, yes, there was some burning, but the secret is to use a very little amount. After the second application, the burning was less. This stuff is amazing, it works as described. Nerve pain in my leg reduced by 60% by the second day! Now I can sleep and enjoy the whole day pain-free! Note: wear gloves to apply and use 4 times a day, the longer you use the cream, the less pain you're in! Yes, I would highly recommend this for nerve pain and muscle and joint pain! Finally, something that works!"
