Topical analgesic
Topical analgesic
My naturopath just had me try a topical analgesic for nerve pain. I wasn't very hopeful until I heard it contained gabapentin (among other things). I don't like how I feel on gabapentin,
but this doesn't effect you the same waysince it's topical. anyway, it seems to work really well on burning pain, although not so much on stabbing pain--at least it works that way for me.
You have to get it from a compounding pharmacy. This is the info my naturopath gave me:
Apply combination pain cream (Amantadine 8% - Cyclobenzaprine 2% - Diclofenac 3% - Gabapentin 6% - Orphenadine 5% - Tetracaine 2% - (KCDGOT) Cream - apply to affected area 3-4 x day.
Apply it where the nerve damage originates (brachial Plexus).
Have your doctor contact the compounding pharmacy “Optimal Pain Control". their phone # is 1-888-482-3972
