For Pain "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!"

For Postherpetic Neuralgia "I have had PHN for 2 years and have been in extreme pain. My internist told me about Zostrix HP along with the warning to be careful applying it and to wash it off my hands. I started using latex gloves to administer it on my body, and after 2 weeks my pain began to subside. I am now at a very manageable pain level. On a 1-10, with 10 being the highest pain, I am now finally at 0.5 (point five) after 2 years of being at a pain level of 10 day and night. I use it sparingly (pea-sized amount) 3-4 times a day. I highly recommend it if you had shingles and then PHN."
