Re: Xylocaine Ointment 5%
I have a topical ointment I apply twice a day when needed. It has 6% Gabapentin in it, & 5% Lidocaine. I apply it with a cotton swab where I need it. It costs me around $20 a jar, compounded at the pharmacy, & I've been fortunate enough that this jar has lasted me more than a year, & it's only half-gone. The relief starts within minutes & lasts hours for me. I've occasionally used it 3x/day..
I hope that you can find something that works well for you & is less cost-prohibitive than what you're using..

On the road of discovery to see what is causing my PGAD.
