Precious Folks, I have gone to a Pain Clinic for my Fibomyalia & Arthritis bilaterally and in my spine. I asked for help for pain with no opioids/narcotics.
This doctor listened and was phenomenal. He asked if I would like to try a compounded pain cream with 4 ingredients that he thought could help me. He could monitor the dose and either decrease or increase.
This has been God sent for me. It has Lidocaine, Flexeril, Diclofonec (this is in Voltaren Gel) & Gabapentin (I cannot tolerate the oral Gabapentin) in it at a low dose. It has to be compounded at a compounding pharmacy. If you go to a Neurologist, some of them actually can do compounded pain creams for you to meet your needs at their facility. I usually get some relief within about 30 minutes. It is an out of pocket expense and the cream runs around $80, BUT, it is a large bottle with a pump and worth every penny.
Blessings & Prayers to all of you who are in pain.

Thanks very much for this information. I would not have thought of asking a Dr to prescribe a compounded, topical cream or gel.
I stopped using Voltaren. concerned about everyday use of a drug that is hard on the kidneys.
I usually default to some form of BioFreeze Professional (gel, roll on, aerosol). I've been using it for well over 10 years for joint and muscle pain. It's amazing how well it works considering it's primarily a menthol product.
