I have inherited peripheral neuropathy. The nerves in my limbs have slowly continued being stripped of their myelin for years. About a decade ago, my foot pain was at its worst, and my doctor suggested capsaicin cream. It hurt like hell! And despite numerous washings, the cream kept causing pain for about three days. I have a high pain tolerance, but I don't think I could try it again.

Reply to New information about the role of a molecule found in chillis in reducing foot pain by healing damaged nerves. After three months, the team found that those who’d been treated with the capsaicin patch reported that their pain had reduced significantly, compared to those treated with standard care by Wagamaga
