A quick update--I wrote down the formula that julbee swears by and went to Rite Aid. They don't have a combining pharmacist there but gave me the name of one in the next town. Anyway, the pharm. at Rite Aid who is a friend of mine said that the combo of ketoprofen 10% and bupivacaine 1% in a PLO gel base (whatever the heck all that means!) would minimize inflamation and sorta numb the area. I also got some of that stuff that is internal containing Vit E and aloe. I'll let y'all know more as time goes on. At least I have a plan!!
