Someone help re recipe for pain relief cream

I think someone here was or is using a cream that helps with pain relief. If I remember correctly, it was a custom blend thought of by their doctor.
If anyone remembers this could you let me know?
Thanks,
Tracy

My RSD /PM doc at USC uses a compounded PLO creme with the following:
10% Ketamine, 10% Ketabrufen, 2% Baclofen, 10% Lidocaine. It needs to be compounded in a PLO creme. It is wonderful and amazing.:)

My doctor is helping me to help myself, and as cheaply as possible.

So we take my SOMA, or, if I am taking tizanidine (which I switched to SOMA), anyways, you take your bottle of medicine and use a small coffee grinder or stone and pestle grinders, and you grind up the medication to a fine powder. Don't sniff the powder!!! Keep it covered. Now take a cold cream - any non-irritating, not too thick, cream or lotion, and for a regular 8 oz. amount, I'd put in about 4 pills worth of the powder and stir it carefully and then use that to put on my hand or arm. I don't use it more than once a day, and I haven't had any skin reactions to it at all.

Please be advised and careful to ask YOUR doctor if you can use your muscle relaxer in this way, and if they have any problem with it. Each person is different, I am not a doctor, and I am only sharing something that has helped me, but under my own doctor's care. So please before you do this get, do it with and under your own doctor's care.

Having said that, for me, I was having horrible stomach problems and digestion problems and skin rashes by swallowing the pills. The cream seems to calm the skin and pain and soaks in and does what it should without going through my whole digestive tract.

Again, don't do this until you've asked your own doc. Thanks.

I just want to impress upon anyone that before they try a home made creme, to please check with their pain mgt. doc or whoever they see, to make sure it's ok for them. But a creme can be made with 350 mg. SOMA, plus 30 mg. Morphine, 5 mg. Prednisone, 2 or 3 mg copper, and 8 mg. Dilaudid. This is what I have seen, but I have not personally tried this BIG one. I just use my SOMA and make it with that alone.

I also read that every day we should be taking an Epsom salt bath, and when someone rubs the creme on, they should do it in a way that smooths the muscles, and then pull on the arm at the end to free it up, and then smooth the cream from our fingers toward the body, to loosen up the skin systems and keep fluids moving. Afterwards, drink a big glass of good water. Take fish oil AND flax seed oil, B vitamins, C, D, A and the milk thistle to help the liver. If we have to wake up and take medicine, I read that the body does not want to sleep more than 3 hours at a time because it is built in that it doesn't want more nerve damage by us sleeping on an arm (for instance) too long and it not getting proper circulation...so that answered my question of WHY can't I have more than 2 or 3 hours of sleep anymore?

These are just my sharing of what I have read and what I am doing to try to get better. Don't do anything without your own doctor's advice - anything.
