So if you found one that worked well that is what I am looking for, I will be going back to my doctor in a few weeks, so I do not need a doctor referral UNLESS this would be required for a specific creme (CBD based?)
Thank you for any information.
You can try Voltaren(R) (generic name diclofenac). It is a cream, formerly prescription only, now OTC. It is an NSAID class (like aspirin, Motrin, etc.) and is absorbable through the skin for local pain relief.
