The topical gel with resveratrol can be ok, but for real effectiveness, it's an "inside job" take something internal like the grape seed extract.

I find that both Aspercream w/Lidocaine and Topricin for Pain give a lot of relief topically for the nerve pain.

I'm going with a homeopathic HGH gel now and into my 2nd month and I'm finding some pain relief and I promised my daughter to give it a good 3 month trial. Homeopathic remedies can be pretty profound.
