Many of us have tried capsascin (Zostrix) or another brand.
I really commend you that you endured 10 treatments to get relief. I couldn't stand it myself, and I have a high pain tolerance!
Capsascin is supposed to block "substance P" which is a pain mediator cytokine. It was originally developed for shingles pain.
But many of us have burning already, so more burning is just intolerable.
Welcome to NeuroTalk....I hope you stay and read up on old posts and contribute further.
