For Pain "Useless. The only claim that actually is true is that it is 'non-irritating.' I have level 10 myopathy, with intense cramping, burning, pinging, and a paper-cut-like sensation that is only out-challenged by a hit-your-shin-against-the-bedpost pain that never goes away."

For Pain "I have a bad neck. I broke it some 20 years ago. However, when the weather changes, it hurts badly. So I asked the pharmacist what would be the best topical pain reliever, and they told me Aspercreme. So I put some on my neck last night before going to bed. I woke up with a rash and burning on my neck. It's like one of the worst sunburns I've ever had. It worked on my neck pain, but I don't think I can use it anymore, due to the burn I got from it."

For Pain "I applied a small amount on my knees. Within 20 minutes, a rash broke out on both legs with severe itching and burning. I had to go to urgent care, where they gave me a steroid injection and a script for Prednisone. I'm on day 5 of the script, and the rash is finally clearing. The script and urgent care cost me $90, in addition to the money wasted on Aspercreme!"

For Pain "Was suggested to use this for pain relief from a suspected shingles virus. After a week of use, my shingles was a very mild case and went away, but I was left with severe burning and itching where I had applied the roll-on."
