I am very appreciative of my topical cream that has Gabapentin, Lidocaine and Capsaicin in it. It helps a good amount! Mine has to be specially prepared at a special compounding pharmacy.

At times I have used an RX in my ear that numbs pain. I'm sorry, I can't think of the name at the moment. It is a prescription that is often used for children with bad ear aches. It helps a little.

There is an OTC product in the dental section called Kanka (or something very close to this spelling) it looks like a pen. It is like orajel. It has lidocaine in it. It is used inside the mouth. I have used this on occasion and it also helps a little.
