Please search my posts. I ended up on a compounded cream which I put on my face where the pain is. I got/get some good relief from this. I think my neuro was a little reluctant at first to speak with a compounding pharmacist about this, but he eventually did and was surprised that she had other patients getting good results from these creams and the side effects are much LESS than pills.

Good luck with the neuro...good thoughts for pain relief!
