Neuropathy Cream

Let me preface this by saying as an Amazon customer since 1998, these "sponsored" reviews of the last few years are, IMO, one of the worst things to happen on Amazon since the beginning. I paid full price for a bottle of this in 07/15 and put it in my box of many similar products and promptly forgot about it until this Holiday week. I have the interesting life of one with Fibromyalgia, and early onset osteoarthritis in both of my hips, the left so far gone I'm temporarily in a wheelchair while arrangements are made for a replacement. I'm 45. Recently the narcotic pain patches and breakthrough med wasn't just not cutting it, an average day was me was sobbing uncontrollably in pain while my DH (& caretaker) watched helplessly. Even the recent steroid injection which normally should've given me some relief did nada. In desperation, my dear husband took the Nervex out of my "pain arsenal" and suggested giving it a try. Within five minutes of him rubbing the pinkish, odorless cream into my hip and thigh, my pain was gone. Seriously. I have no idea how it worked when more powerful products have failed, I'm just incredibly grateful that it is working, and 3x daily applications have given me a truly enjoyable, pain-free Christmas Eve. Thank You and please keep making this product! There has been no downside, or side effects to this product. But when the label says wash hands immediately, they aren't fooling around. I accidentally transferred a bit of the cream into my hand, then rubbed my eye. And before I could say G7 protesters with mace-melted contacts in their eyes, I, too, was learning water makes it worse, and to just wait out the the small amount of capsaicin in the product

yes this works fast. i'm not a whimp but this stuff burns. almost like you have a bad sunburn on the area. and yes i tried to wash it off. it now taken about 30 minutes to cool down, and yes the muscle/ nerve pain is better. i'm going to try the capsacin free cream. i know if you don't feel the burn, it's not working.

Helps a bit with neuropathic "pins and needles" at night. Doesn't completely eliminate the pain.

This cream works really well on pain

I have a combination of carpal tunnel and neuropathy. My hands get very sore and painful when I use them during regular work, but any repetition makes it intolerable. I've been dabbling with a few products to help relieve me of this pain. The concept seemed simple and easy enough, but I was instantly out off by it saying to apply, and then wipe it off. Perhaps I did that big wrong, but either way, it wasn't so bad at first until it burst out with this seering pain. I tried washing my hands but to no avail, my hands were red and painful. There was nothing to. Eventually it passed on its own. I then tried it on my mother to see if I was crazy for having such an extreme reaction to these things. Sure enough, she was just as uncomfortable and in pain as I was with the same stuff on her. This stuff is meant to RELIEVE you, not add insult to injury. I can't see how this woken help anyone.

This was just what my husband needed for neuropathy in his feet. Before using this wonderful cream, his feet were in agony...he said it felt like burning, stinging, and something sharp poking into his feet. It bothered him day and night. Our doctor told him to use Capsaicin. He did and his feet were on fire! I saw this on Amazon and thought maybe it could help. From the first application his feet felt better. Now he can walk, wear shoes without hurting, doesn't have to wear socks to bed so the sheets didn't wake him up...and so much more. We are both thrilled we found Neuropathy Nerve cream. The only downside is he has to apply it 2 to 3 times a day to each foot. So one bottle only lasts a little under a week. I put it on our subscribe and save list so getting 4 - 5 bottles a month is less expensive. It would be great if it came in larger bottles. This makes his feet feel so much better that it is worth it.

Odorless: no, it has an odor and is not that pleasant - someone described it as "sour milk" and I tend to agree. Is it possible that some lots went bad? Non-irritating: a few people said that it burn their skin - sorry it does not. I am even wondering if the %tage of capsaicin is high enough for that to happen (the product indeed does not show the %tage - most creams show a 0.025% but this one does not tell anything). In any cases, not irritating for me = checked! Effectiveness: I cannot say I feel any relief but this may be a personal experience and depends on the severity of the illness you have. With a large body area affected with neuralgia, I felt no improvement (a soothing homemade salve was more effective than this). I don't think I will buy this again but will give it a fair try on another pin one day and chnge my rating if at all effective.

This version of Nervex contains Capsaicin, which my doctor advised using. It is milder than using straight Capsaicin, and did seem to help with the already burning in my feet/toes. I think perhaps I will return to using the regular Nervex as I think it works for me just as well.
