Well, over the years I’ve used Aspercreme for topical treatment of minor aches and pains and I’ve been reasonably satisfied with it. The primary ingredient is trolamine salicylate 10%.

Lately, I’ve seen tv spots for Aspercreme advertising it for nerve pain. I was quite surprised to find that in my case it’s been effective in relieving the tingling and pulsing sensations that I’ve recently been experiencing in my legs. One or 2 applications is usually sufficient to last me through the night.
