The cayenne pepper is supposed to block Substance P which is a pain signal cytokine mediator, but I don't know how effective this is orally compared to the topical form. Capscascin.

Curcumin should be done with a special form that is easily absorbed. Here is a thread that discusses this:
Curcumin is especially useful for central neuro disorders, like MS and PD etc. But it can help other nerve issues too. It is not well absorbed and most stays in the GI tract:

This thread has a long discussion about absorption and which brands work and showed improvement in studies:

Willow bark is a source of natural aspirin.

I don't know what "nerve fix is"
The boswellia and devil's claw always turn up in anti-inflammatory suggestions.

You might also find a good quality grapeseed extract more useful when taken in 300mg or more, than all that, that you posted so far. Antioxidants are helpful to quench free radicals.
I take 300mg a day for my allergies, and find it helps the burning in my feet as well. Antioxidants are basically also good for cardiovascular health and brain protection.

But whatever you choose, antioxidants are the way to go IMO.
Just do some research on them before you buy. Some are better than others. Esp...curcumin needs special formulation to be absorbed at all.

We are getting some patients on PN who have had terrible reactions to Lyrica, which they feel is decomposing their TEETH...rotting them in the mouth, crumbling away, etc.
So if you can find a natural way to go, that could be in your favor. Just research the companies you buy from and get quality products.
