Kevin,

I'm correcting your link... it is pointing to thier hospice care page. I made it point to their page for transdermal creams.

I clicked through to their order form to see what they have. I'm intrigued by the creams for neuropathic pain that have gabapentin. This drug was helpful for me when I suffered from severe leg pain related to lumbar problems, but I hated the side effects of the high dose oral med. I don't understand how topical application of the drug can deal with the perception of pain that originates far away from the site of the pain???

I'll be interested in learning more... if anyone tries this, please post. I have some injections scheduled for Friday... I'll ask the doctor about these creams.

Mark
