CIPN topical pain relief cream.

CaliKelly

My Doctor has prescribed me a topical formulation for the ongoing , aggravating neuropathy in my hands and feet. I feel like I have socks full of ants! Biting away from the inside. This medication is baclofen. flurbiprofen, lidocaine. I havent tried it yet because my pharmacy had to order it. Has anyone with this problem ever tried it? Or has anyone found ANYTHING that works on the pain? I've tried everything over the counter, Vit B12, alpha lipoic acid, Lyrica, Gabapentin (helps a little) Cymbalta, and CBD oil(helps a little) Any advice out there? Thanks!

Cali,

I also have a topical cream for my CIPN, a blend of many ingredients from a compound pharmacy. I think it helps, and the ingredients you listed are part of it.

Acupuncture helps me a lot, I can really tell a difference. I have been going for some time, and try to go every 3 to 4 weeks.

I am not on any of the drugs offered for the CIPN, except for the vitamins. That being said, I know people who get a lot of relief from these drugs.

Some days are worse than others for some reason!

Acupuncture is the one thing I haven't tried, I'll look into it. I think my insurance even covers it. Thank you for the info! You are right, some days much worse than others. I wonder if certain foods or additives can affect. So weird! Also going to check my vitamin levels, some people get b12 shots and that helps. Thank you!😃
