Just getting over a nasty head cold. Managed to do it without the use of pharmaceutical drugs. Not fun. However side effect from the cold is a stiff neck and upper back pain. I read that Capsaicin cream can help the nerves in the neck and deaden the pain. I want to try it but want to make sure it won't set off my AFIB. Has anyone else used the cream successfully without AFIB problems
I've not used that for neck pain, but do rely on the essential oil of peppermint to ease muscle pain. Just be sure it is steam-distilled. The relief is rapid and has no interference with heart rhythm. Use as often as needed.
