Capzasin Quick Relief (capsaicin / menthol) for Pain "I slathered some of this stuff on thickly for fibromyalgia and neck arthritis pain then went for a walk on a warm day with a tank top on. DON'T DO THAT. However, the burning is so bad it took my mind off my pain. "

Salonpas (capsaicin / menthol) for Muscle Pain "I've never had a skin allergy in my life--until I slapped a piece of Salonpas on my shoulder. Upon the first removal I had bumpy, raised skin for five days. I put a steroidal creme on the area to no avail. Not so much itching as just annoying bumpy, raised skin."

Salonpas (capsaicin / menthol) for Muscle Pain "I used the Salonpas patch for back pain, so I forget to take it off while I slept, when I woke up my equilibrium is so severe I can barely walk. ( I'm scared ). First thing I thought of was my 2 medications I take. I researched what salonpas interact with but to my relief they were not listed. So what happened? I don't know... But for one thing they did the job."

Salonpas (capsaicin / menthol) for Muscle Pain "I had terrible back pain for three weeks and tried almost everything to relieve the pain. Someone recommended Salonpas and in one night, it relieved my pain. It did cause a very itchy reaction, but it was worth it because I am now pain-free!"
