I have posted about my complications from my TOS surgery nearly 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately that has left me dependent on pain meds, which I have never needed before. I saw my PCP this week and she gave me a sample of a new pain cream. It is a compound that is made up(in Beverly Hills, I believe) and sent to you when your dr. orders it. It has a lot of the medication in it that I have tried but, could not tolerate orally. Gabapentin(for nerve pain), Flexeril, and Baclofen(muscle relaxers), and an anti-inflammatory(Flurbiprofen), and Lidocaine(numbing med). I tried it and it did help. I think if you had more "normal" and not post-op pain that it would work amazingly.
Just wanted to let ya'll know that this was out there. My dr. ordered it for me after I tried it and my insurance covered it, so hopefully most will. It is a good alternative for those of us who can't tolerate many medications by mouth. |

I've tried it, too, and it helps but I can't spread it on all the places that hurt. When I use it on my neck and traps I can't rub it in myself because I'm supposed to rub for 2 minutes. Just that spikes my pain, so I have my partner do it. Unfortunately, I still have to take my normal oral meds so I just end up taking more, which defeats the whole purpose. I suppose it's a break for the liver, though.
Take care, Kelly |

Would it have the same side effects as when taken
orally like the drowsiness weight gain etc? |

No, that's why my dr. wanted me to try it. I can not tolerate any of those meds orally,(I've tried them all!). But, this has NO side effects on me. And I am super sensitive to drugs, so I would think it would be safe for anyone.

If anyone is interested in a non pharmaceutical analgesic cream, I have recently been using SoreNoMore. This is by far the best analgesic cream I have used (I previously had been using Biofreeze). I was given some samples of SoreNoMore by a new pain therapist I am seeing (I still have chronic cervicogenic pain, even though my TOS symptoms are gone). I rub on my sore neck and shoulders before bed.

Nospasm --
Are you saying that you don't have TOS symptoms anymore? Was your TOS surgery a complete success??? |
