Diclofenac, Gabapentin And Lidocaine For Back Pain

My eldery lady has back pain all the time, she is confined to her recliner and she doesn't walk. Will this combination of diclofenac, gabapentin & lidocaine help alleviate her back pain? It originally was presribed for pain in her feet.

Hi Patti,

As a topical pain-relieving cream, it may help. However, one cannot distinctly say that it will or will not without trying it first.

- Diclofenac is a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) marketed for use in treating mild to moderate pain/inflammation.
- Gabapentin is marketed for use in treating nerve pain (as well as certain types of seizures).
- Lidocaine is a sodium channel blocker marketed for use in relieving pain and numbing tissue (skin).

To what extent these ingredients will help her pain is anyone's guess... However, if she felt any relief in her feet, it's probably safe to assume that she'll receive some noticeable benefit.

All things considered, has she been in touch (verbally) with any doctors regarding other prescription pain medications, follow-ups, etc?
