@snagydude I just message my Neuro about the gabapentin not helping me much and I'd love to try a compounded topical. Does yours dry quickly? That is my main concern as my my pain is worst at work and I worry I would only be able to use the cream at night before bed. I share your concern about your body adapting to the drugs. Each time I've upped my dose of gabapentin it seems to work for about 6 weeks and then I am back to little to no relief. It is all very frustrating as I am walking a lot at work and that won't/can't change.
