Default Has anyone tried oral capsaicin?

Hey guys!

I just started a work up today at this fancy new age integrative wellness place (I hope it's worth it) so that I can actually get a real look at my problems. While I was there, they recommended oral capsaicin for my joint pains (not necessarily the CRPS).

Has anyone else tried this? Did it help your CRPS?

Thanks in advance! I'll post how it goes for me.

I once, before I was on pain medication, had a capsaicin topical treatment (cotton wool doused pads that fit around the lower leg). It burned like hell. That's all I can say about it.

I say, what does it hurt to try, but you'll have to check with a *doctor*, if someone else recommended this to you.

I wouldn't play with something as serious as RSD, but that's me. I believe in "medicine" (as a field), not so much "the rest", IYKWIM.
