@laughlin1947 Thank you for your kindness.

I am already on a Protein Pump Inhibior (Protonix) for reflux and Pepcid AC at night. Mobic/Meloxicam hikes up my blood pressure. It helps with my pain, but causes reflux and
facial flushing.

If you can get into a Pain Clinic or even a Neurologist, they can write you a non narcotic
pain cream. I use one and it helps me greatly with Fibromyalgia & Arthritis since I can't
take NSAIDS.

Mine has Lidocaine, Gabapentin, Flexeril & Dicoflenac (Voltaren) in it at a low dose. It
has to be compounded in a compounding pharmacy. It helps take the edge of the pain
and make it more tolerable.

Blessings & Prayers to you & your wife......

@covidstinks2023 I read yesterday online where they said Voltaren was not effective for hip bursitis pain because it cannot penetrate deeply enough. I hate to see you pay a premium for a compounded lotion that is not well founded as to efficacy. Good luck to you! Sounds like the compounded lotion is working ok for you, nevertheless.
