Increasingly Difficult to Accept Peripheral Neuropathy

Hi, I thought I would share my one time experience with putting Capsaicin on my feet. Not fair, I should give a little history. I have used this product on my back successfully, so why not? First, I should let it be know, I have had PN for many years. It has progressed enormously over the years. I went from an Outside sales job (with great pay), to an inside Marketing job with much less money, but walking only to and from my car. Foot pain, always the culprit! Over 20 years later, it is still a trial and error process. I am taking CBD daily, which allows me to function. Even though the pain is reduced, it is still ever present. I decided to try Capsaicin on my cold feeling feet. OMG, I had to run & sit on the side of the tub, run the water, get soap and a brush to take that extremely painful cream off ASAP!!! Very Bad experience. Makes no sense to me, just thought I let you know, it's not a solution for feet for everyone.

Thanks, I had a similar experience when I put it on myself. Hurt like hell. But I am wondering if the treatment works for pain relief after the initial treatment burns the nerve ends and when the pain subsides. I'll take some initial pain for extended relief. So far, I don't buy the sales pitch.

I also had a very bad experience. Kohnmacc
