LIDOCAINE PATCHES, CBC topical cream- haven't found one that really helps. I have tramadol however it doesn't help.

I am using three Lidocaine patches everyday, a topical compound from my GP and Zolpidem to sleep. I have tried light therapy, PT, swimming, loosing weight and still nothing but misery. I hate to sound negative however no medical provider really took a serious interest in truly helping me. I guess I am feeling sorry for myself and simply giving up.
