Me too. I have just read about a cream that is supposed to get rid of pain. I think ordered some and thought it did not work. I will try it again and let you know if it works.

@jimhd ...Do you not think it is a compound cream like most commly prescribed? My problem with it was the amount I had to use to get relief! My Dr seemed to think It was fine although I probably used 2x the amt of what was prescribed. She was just happy it gave me relief!

I\'m not sure where your response is directed. I have peripheral neuropathy pain in my feet, and when it\'s bad I put prescription lidocaine cream on the areas that burn and hurt. It numbs them for awhile. I usually use it at bedtime so I can get to sleep. I think I tried Arnica cream a few times, and I think it helped some, but not as much as the lidocaine. For arthritis pain, Volteran gel has helped, and I know a woman who swears by blue emu.
What is it that you\'re trying, and what pain are you treating?
