![]() "Big John" wrote My back is also bad. I use "capsaicin", Pepper Juice. I tolerate it well and can add additional applications as I need to control the pain. I use it both at neck and lower back. If you haven't tried and want to send me your mail address at my home e-mail address I'll send you some. It can get warm like jock strap lotion. Oh, yeah ! ! ! A quick story about Capsaicin. My wife had been using that stuff for a pulled muscle that was not getting better. She had the extra strong stuff ordered at the drug store. One day she got the idea that I should try it for my chronic bad back. I thought it sounded like a good idea, too. She said that I needed to start with small doses, since it takes a while for it to not burn to the point of pain. I did as she suggested. In a week or so, I was ready to have the doses up to a pretty heavy application. I went to work, and it was the first day that it was starting to get hot in the spring. I started to get a bit hot, and sweating quite a bit. The next thing I knew, my back was like it was ON FIRE! ! ! Really hot! Like, how fast do you need to run, to get away from your own back? In a flash, I had my shirt off, and was running around trying to make a breeze on my back to get it to cool off. All of this was in front of my carpentry class, of course. They got a big kick out of it. Later on, one said that my back had turned bright blood red. All over. I believed him. g Turns out, this stuff gets hotter with the application of water. This stuff, the capsaicin is an extract of pepper juice, 100 times stronger than jalapeno peppers. Those of you that like to eat hard core hot peppers know how water only makes the burn worse. Same thing for this stuff, times 100. That was the last time I tried capsaicin on my back. vbg -- Jim in NC |
