My V.A. PCP is not a fan of CBD. does it work? who knows...might be a placebo effect.
I've been using 10% lidocaine that I can't get here...had to go to china for it. I think this works great. I forgot I had used it and I touched my lips...it was like Novacaine. China sells it for "tatoo removal". Keeps me playing golf.
My V.A. oncology\hematology RN is a fan of CBD but won't endorse it because of my PCP.
She DID endorse and prescribed- and I just got it in the mail (haven't tried it yet) this:



Stay well...

I have lidocaine gel that my Dr wrote for me so long ago I would have to look at the date - originally wrote it for my mother who passed in 1998; still works.

Drug stores like WalMart sell stick-on lidocaine patches - about 4" x 5.5". Perhaps there are OTC creams that contain lidocaine; not sure.

Interesting - capsaicin is chili pepper, usually irritating to skin - used in defensive pepper spray; the percentage in the cream is a fraction of 1%. Rugby Labs is a good brand as far as I know. Wikipedia says that it is often in compounds with other rubefacients which cause capillary dilation, increasing local blood flow. I do not see any listed in the ingredients.

Is that a prescription only?
