Cat...
wondering how you're doing ?? good to hear some pains --'ice pick' --better.
did suggestions, heat help??
for me COLD is trigger & exacerbator. as is Stress...
Lidocaine may 'calm' some pains. it's often in nerve blocks & other injections that can help.
also, Lidoderm --RX transdermal gel patches--can be cut into smaller pieces and placed over [some] painful areas.
i 've also used compounded topicals w/ Lidocaine & other meds for 'nerve' pain included in preparation, but now no DRs that know how or willing to RX
some compounding pharmecy's online have info. (will try to find & share ....) they can put various meds into alternative forms-- like topicals, or make special prepartions customized for you...
pain meds, like percocet may help. seems most DR prefer to RX other meds for nerve pain. it may take a combo... and most of the 'nerve' meds like lyrica & other AED's can take awhile to get used to and/or be effective.
Hope u find things that help
let us know...
pray you & others find relief...
