A nurse friend gave me a sample of
Voltaren gel and it worked great. I asked my surgeon about it
and they gave me some samples
and a prescription. (It' expensive, around $200 a tube.
Now I use a compounded cream prescribed by my PM nurse practitioner. It has about seven different things in it. I know 2 of the ingredients are ketamine and lidocaine but I can't remember the rest. (This also runs around $200.) I find this works a bit better than the Voltaren.
