Hi. I'm on a compounded topical lotion for my foot and hip pain due to SFN. It helps for my feet. It's a combination of amitriptyline, ketamine and lidocaine. It works great for me at night. I put it on my feet and then put on socks and my pain subsides so I can sleep better. Unfortunately it's expensive and my insurance does not cover it. I pay $108 for a small amount in a pump container. The container is probably 1/2 the size of a voltarin tube.

I also had a compounded cream ordered by my foot doc for the pain in my feet.
Mine consists of Lidocaine Gabapentin Pentox, Clon, and Amit.
I was to put it on 3x/day wherever the pain was on my feet.
After a week I broke out in a measles type rash on my feet, and had to stop using the cream.
I paid $84 for it, and it wasn’t covered by my insurance either.

I too had a compound med done for my feet but I broke out with a measles type rash after a few days using it.
My foot doc told me to discontinue it.
