A member asked:
Can any topical cream help with nerve pain or is this a hoax?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Capsaicin: Capsaicin has been shown to help with nerve pain by depleting the c-fiber endings of some of their neurotransmitters and thus helping with pain. It is now available over the counter. Check with your neurologist to see if it might be appropriate for you.
