I use a compound of Dexamethasone/Gabapentin/Lidocaine 0.1/15/4%
It helps with foot pain and muscle pain from muscle cramps.

Wow! It looks like all sorts of combinations are being tried with some common themes to fight pain, burning/vascular response, etc.

So I am very interested in trying this. My doctor has never recommended this so I am betting she just needs a starting point and recommendation. She seems willing to try things.

Anyway, I am fortunate that both Gralise 1200mg/day (extended Gabapentin) and 5% Lidoderm patches. Would compounding these together be a good place to start? A better question is how much?

Thanks
