Cindylou, I understand how this works for pain meds that can be dispensed locally instead of systemically. However, my understanding of the anit-epileptics that are prescribed for nerve pain is that they change the way pain signals are routed or percieved. I would not have expected this to be a local phenomenon.

I'm emailing some pain docs to see what they say.
