Have you ever had an operation ? If you have, you'll know that surgical scars can leave you with a burning pain for months and sometimes even years. Frankly speaking , the pain is sometimes so unbearable it's hard to even stand the weight of your own clothes on the scars. Generally speaking , most ordinary pain killers won't work . Besides, they are so powerful that they may cause side effects.
Fortunately, according to a recent study, doctors say there is a red-hot cure : chili peppers. An ointment is made from the ingredient that makes chili peppers hot. It kind of short-circuits the pain . The ointment is sold in a tube that lasts a month and costs only US$16. It's considered the newest, most creative and inexpensive way of dealing with the problem.
