I went to my rheumatologist (for the osteoarthritis), she recommended the pain cream. She said it wont hurt me if I try....so I said okay....

I tried it and I think its giving me some relief from burning. Due to the duration and extent of my pain, just a relief even for a couple of days is a big deal. I am so happy for the last 2 days that I cant wait to share my very, very tolerable pain.

I am not sure if it'll work for a longer time but I am enjoying my tolerable pain, FOR NOW. I have not felt this for years. It feels so pleasantly strange without the pain I live with since 2011. I really, really hope that my honeymoon with this cream would last at least even until the holidays. Yay!!!!!!

The compounded pain cream is consist of the following:

Ketamine-5%; Baclofen-2%; Gabapentin-10%; Clonidine-0.2%.
