For Pain "I rubbed it on my neck, and in about 30 minutes, I started getting very warm. Went to sleep for about 3 hours and woke up itching, heart started racing. Heart still beating fast 2 hours later. It freaked me out."

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."
