Why not? I did not find the gel to be as effective as the salve for some reason. as stated above , I have tried many brands and find the salve to give me the best temporary relief. just did my morning treatment after my epsom salt soak and feeling pretty good (for a RSDer that is ) Carol

Lidocaine cream is fast acting and stronger, but the results don't last very long.
Lidoderm patches should be left on for only 12 hours a day and have longer lasting results than the cream, IMO. I feel that they work best when used for flares or spread or injury, as needed. When I tried to use them every day, they seemed to lose effectiveness long term. |

Have you tried any compounded creams that include Ketamine? You might want to give that a try. It does work for PN. I know what you have is worse, but I get some very good results for the symptoms. ginnie

No, I haven't tried anything with Ketamine. I have seen it mentioned quite a few times and was going to ask my doc about it.

Do ask your doctor about Ketamine. The script I have has 5 different meds. in it including Ketamine. It really does take the edge off. Let me know how it does for you. All of the folks that have CRPS or RSD will sure want to know too. Take care....ginnie
