![]() "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 |

Many thanks John, but I think my back issues are beyond the medication stage. They've been my spine 3 times and the result is that I no longer have the violent attacks of excruciating pain like I used to, but I now have a low level constant pain in the lower back caused by nerve damage that can't be repaired or medicated. I could if I chose, use a strong pain med, but living like a zombie doesn't have much appeal for me, so I just roll into and out of bed gently, try not to bend down so much, grit my teeth, and keep on truckin :-) My catract surgery is also giving me problems. Couple of months ago said come back in 3 months. Want to get some decent eyes (20-10) back to fly. Sorry to hear that John. I sincerely hope that it works out for you. Mine seems ok so far. I'm getting my new glasses in about a week. The surgeon said my tests seem normal and I'll have a slight correction at far range and I'm about 225 for reading up close. Right now on the computer I'm wearing 150 reading cheapo's and I can see fine. Dudley Take care.

Dudley
The wild stories using Capsaisin are not unusual. They package it in several strengths. I'm using the strongest 0.075 percent. What I advise the first time users is to start on your arm just above the wrist, and only apply a little. If you don't have any problems go ahead and increase the amount and frequency. If it gets hot you can easily wash it off with soap and water with the other hand. If you, say, put it on the lower back at the belt level and it is hot out side where you sweat then you will get the hot burning feeling and it is hard to reach to get off behind your back. A War Story. A good model pilot was one armed and had back pains. I gave him some and he put on before going to bed. It took off and he had to get his wife up and get in shower with her and scrub his back like she did normally because of the one arm but at a better time of day and night ![]() What I'm told how it works is that it stops the signals from being sent over nerves from pain area to brain. It does not cure the underlying problem. In my case I have become accustomed to it and even working out side in yard in summer I can stand the heat under the belt and it sure cuts the problem big time. If you want I'll get a tube of 0.025 (the lowest they make) and send to you. Need to order some shortly for me and will be glad for you to give it a try.If it works for you like for me then you will be home free ![]() I used to get a grease but found that I had to wash my hands with soap and water after application. I now have found it in a role on and you don't get on your hands and eventually into your eyes ![]() If you are going to go out in sun then don't put on or at least just a single swipe until you establish your tolerance. Think you gave me your address prior but for some reason I didn't save. Just got a new e-mail address. j*hnc*a*l*atcomcast.net. Use it to keep some semblance of privacy to your USPS address. Think you know how to modify to make correct address. Remove *'s and use symbol for at. On eye's. I had right eye done 6 years ago and it was doing good. when left eye started growing very dim. Has not turned out as what I experienced with right.Should get the second new set or glasses this month and hope they can make both eyes see the same one to another. The best.
