Customer Reviews of Capzasin Arthritis Pain Relief, 1 Fluid Ounces (Pack of 2)
Customer Review: A Life-Saver
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried the Capzasin liquid because I read the report "Complementary and alternative medicines for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia" from the Arthritis Research Campaign. This concluded that Capsaicin was the single most effective alternative medicine treatment for arthritis pain.
This product has me walking again, when the arthritis in my knees was so bad that I could barely stumble from the house to the car. I can truly say that it is nothing short of miraculous. Because it stung a little overnight (see tips below), I discontinued use for a few days. I had forgotten just how much pain I was in before I used Capzasin and it took me a while to figure out that discontinuing its use was why I could not walk properly! Now I am planning trips to the museum and days out - stuff that I would never have planned before using Capzasin. So it really is a miracle pain-reliever for me.
Having tried this for a while, I can give you a few tips:
* The pain relief does not kick in immediately. I used it for a day or two before I noticed that I was walking more easily. By day 4, I was almost pain free. By day 5 I was no longer wearing my knee-braces to work.
* It burns a little when you first apply it, but not badly. Think antiseptic - that's how it feels.
* Wear rubber gloves when applying. Even with the "mess-free" applicator, you need to rub the liquid in. The liquid runs down your hands and seeps into every pore. It will leave your hands burning gently for almost a day. Not painful, but a bit irritating!
* Don't touch your nose or eyes until you have washed your hands thoroughly. You really don't want chili pepper in your eyes ...
* It burns again later when you sweat, even if you applied it hours ago. This can be bad if you have used it a lot (which I did at first). So don't overdo the applications, thinking that you can make it work faster(!). Use it once a day at first.
* Don't give up if the burning sensation comes back late at night. Because it burns when you sweat, it kept me awake for the first couple of nights, but it was *so* worth it! The burning was bad at first, but it wore off after the first 4-5 days; now I hardly notice it.
* It can seep into fabrics and braces if you get hot. I made the mistake of applying this just before putting on my knee-braces at bedtime - don't believe that dry-to-the-touch means that it won't transfer if you sweat! I had to wash the braces before I could wear them again, as they stung really badly when in contact with my skin. But I have not noticed this with my clothes, so I suspect it is just because the knee-braces made me hot.
* Don't breathe in the vapor if you are sensitive to dust, etc. I developed a bad cough for a day or two after inhaling the vapor -- now I just lean well away as I apply it.
In conclusion: I have given a lot of "cons" above, but it is still so worth it for the pain relief - I have my life back!
Also read the excellent advice in Once in a while's review for Capzasin-HP Arthritis Relief Topical Analgesic Cream, .1-Percent Capsaicin, 1.5-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 2). That product is a higher potency gel - the reviewer advised readers to start with a lower potency until you are used to the "burn." I did not realize that this was a High Potency formulation until after I had used it for a couple of weeks. Which may explain the burn-in period ... :-)
