Oral may not get into the region well. Inflammation stagnates blood flow...so things in the blood may not reach the target.
This is why the magnesium lotion works so well... it gets into places that have poor blood flow.
The transdermal cream may be the best route for the acute phase.
If you take oral for any length of time, you should taper off it carefully when stopping...removal of clonidine causes a spike of high blood pressure, a rebound of sorts.
Also you should monitor your blood pressure daily.
