Lidocaine was suggested to me did you try it?

Yes. I use a combination of Aspercreme (4% lidocaine) and Voltaren gel for neuropathy pain.
This works well for me for muscle pain also.
First massage in Voltaren, wait a few minutes for it to absorb, then rub in a layer of Aspercreme.
Theory is using both an antiinflammatory and topical anesthetic could be synergistic.
Also seems to help to rub them into trigger point areas that can refer pain to more distant spots.
For instance, top of the foot pain can be referred from anywhere in the shin muscles.
Makes sense since you're dealing with nerves that run all the way down the leg.
