Clonidine is also helpful for some people. This drug has been in final trials as a topical cream for chronic pain patients currently.
It can be sedating however.

However it looks like it won't be marketed any time soon.

A disadvantage of the compounded RX topicals is that most of them work best on small targeted areas like the feet or hands.
Applying them over the larger areas of the body, may be hugely expensive (needing large amounts) and also result in side effects of the absorbed drugs.
Have you tried the new Aspercreme Lidocaine? I find it very good for pain. So far I've used it on my knees and shins, and shoulder.
