Vita Sciences Nervex Powerful Neuropathy Cream: Advanced Natural Relief for Peripheral Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia, and Fast Comfort Treatment for Feet, Hands, Legs, and Toes

Let me preface this by saying as an Amazon customer since 1998, these "sponsored" reviews of the last few years are, IMO, one of the worst things to happen on Amazon since the beginning. I paid full price for a bottle of this in 07/15 and put it in my box of many similar products and promptly forgot about it until this Holiday week. I have the interesting life of one with Fibromyalgia, and early onset osteoarthritis in both of my hips, the left so far gone I'm temporarily in a wheelchair while arrangements are made for a replacement. I'm 45. Recently the narcotic pain patches and breakthrough med wasn't just not cutting it, an average day was me was sobbing uncontrollably in pain while my DH (& caretaker) watched helplessly. Even the recent steroid injection which normally should've given me some relief did nada. In desperation, my dear husband took the Nervex out of my "pain arsenal" and suggested giving it a try. Within five minutes of him rubbing the pinkish, odorless cream into my hip and thigh, my pain was gone. Seriously. I have no idea how it worked when more powerful products have failed, I'm just incredibly grateful that it is working, and 3x daily applications have given me a truly enjoyable, pain-free Christmas Eve. Thank You and please keep making this product! There has been no downside, or side effects to this product. But when the label says wash hands immediately, they aren't fooling around. I accidentally transferred a bit of the cream into my hand, then rubbed my eye. And before I could say G7 protesters with mace-melted contacts in their eyes, I, too, was learning water makes it worse, and to just wait out the the small amount of capsaicin in the product

It definitely helps my neuropathy but make sure you wash your hands after using it bc as I found out it effects And can sting if not washed off...

Helps a bit with neuropathic "pins and needles" at night. Doesn't completely eliminate the pain.

This cream works really well on pain

I have a combination of carpal tunnel and neuropathy. My hands get very sore and painful when I use them during regular work, but any repetition makes it intolerable. I've been dabbling with a few products to help relieve me of this pain. The concept seemed simple and easy enough, but I was instantly out off by it saying to apply, and then wipe it off. Perhaps I did that big wrong, but either way, it wasn't so bad at first until it burst out with this seering pain. I tried washing my hands but to no avail, my hands were red and painful. There was nothing to. Eventually it passed on its own. I then tried it on my mother to see if I was crazy for having such an extreme reaction to these things. Sure enough, she was just as uncomfortable and in pain as I was with the same stuff on her. This stuff is meant to RELIEVE you, not add insult to injury. I can't see how this woken help anyone.

This version of Nervex contains Capsaicin, which my doctor advised using. It is milder than using straight Capsaicin, and did seem to help with the already burning in my feet/toes. I think perhaps I will return to using the regular Nervex as I think it works for me just as well.

Odorless: no, it has an odor and is not that pleasant - someone described it as "sour milk" and I tend to agree. Is it possible that some lots went bad? Non-irritating: a few people said that it burn their skin - sorry it does not. I am even wondering if the %tage of capsaicin is high enough for that to happen (the product indeed does not show the %tage - most creams show a 0.025% but this one does not tell anything). In any cases, not irritating for me = checked! Effectiveness: I cannot say I feel any relief but this may be a personal experience and depends on the severity of the illness you have. With a large body area affected with neuralgia, I felt no improvement (a soothing homemade salve was more effective than this). I don't think I will buy this again but will give it a fair try on another pin one day and chnge my rating if at all effective.

I usually don’t leave long reviews but I felt that my review might help someone so here I go… My hubby has severe foot pains, he’s 63 years old. It’s hard to get him to go to his orthopedic doctor. “Like pulling a hen’s teeth!!”😂 or “Catching a greased pig!!” He has what he calls “Lightning Bolt” nerve pains at night in his feet. He also has arthritis in his foot as well. I have bought every gadget, potions, creams, compression socks, tennis balls, tiger balm patches, orthotic insoles, foot soaks, you name it! I finally got to reading about neuropathy and foot pain. I the Looked on Amazon for something for this and plantar fasciitis. He hasn’t been officially diagnosed with either one. I have plantar fasciitis myself and the tiger Balm patches helped me. But, he’s a big baby! 😂 So, in my searching I found this product, I also make my purchases based on reviews, this one had great reviews. So I thought, ok let’s try this one… 🙄 I even purchased a different product at the same time, just in case. Mind you, all this time I’m still trying to get him to just go ahead and go to his doctor! This has helped him more than anything else has so far. He wasn’t able to sleep much due to the “Lightning Bolt” nerve pains before, and he says that this settles it down so he can sleep! The only drawback to this is he says it works the best if I rub it on his foot 🦶 😲🫢🥹

The product came before the date and it did excactly what I wanted it to do. It temporarily worked on my neuropathic pain. I still have to put it on in the evening but it does take away the pain for a few hours.

My son uses it for relief of neuropathy caused by his diabetes. He gets some relief but it is not complete. There is no known product which would alleviate the pain completely.

The product worked and provided relief in my moms feet pain caused by diabetes. At least twice a day sometimes three to get it on before she feels the burning sensation.

This is a horrible experience, I received the product today and as u can see I had to wash it to take the picture. Once I opened package something smell so bad then I saw the cover covered in a disgusting liquid like a slim, and even the inside bottle too. I love this product as it is the only thing that help with my dad pain but really it is awful and disgusting I don't know what it is but omg horrible horrible experience in the packaging and delivery.

Doesn't stain and has a nice smell. Works to take the burning sensation out of my feet. I have neuropathyy.
