As we prepare to welcome a brand-new year, many of us are looking for ways to improve our health and comfort. Today, at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, I had the pleasure of speaking with a woman who was determined to make 2025 her year of relief from chronic joint pain.

She asked me, “I’ve tried over-the-counter creams, but they don’t seem to do much. I heard about compounded pain creams—are they different, and could they work better for me?”

I smiled, happy to explain. “Yes, compounded pain creams can be incredibly effective because they’re customized to address your specific pain. Unlike over-the-counter products, compounded creams allow us to combine multiple active ingredients in one formula, tailored just for you. For example, we often blend lidocaine for numbing and ketoprofen for its anti-inflammatory effects.”

Her interest grew. “So, it’s like a custom blend of medications for my pain?”

“Exactly,” I replied. “Compounded pain creams can include ingredients like diclofenac for inflammation, gabapentin for nerve pain, and cyclobenzaprine for muscle relaxation. By combining these into a single cream, we can provide targeted relief directly to the source of your pain, while avoiding the systemic side effects of oral medications.”

She asked about how to use it. “How often would I need to apply it?”

“Typically, you’d apply the cream two to three times a day, depending on your pain levels,” I said. “What’s great about compounded pain creams is that they’re adjustable. If you feel the formula is too strong or not strong enough, we can modify it until it’s just right for you.”

Then she asked about safety. “Are there any side effects I should worry about?”

“Compounded pain creams are generally very well-tolerated,” I explained. “Since they’re applied directly to the skin, only a small amount of medication enters your bloodstream. However, some people may experience mild skin irritation, so it’s a good idea to test a small area first. Always follow your provider’s instructions for safe use.”

Before she left, I reminded her, “And if you decide to give compounded pain creams a try, Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy offers free delivery so you can have your medication brought right to your doorstep—perfect for starting the new year with convenience and comfort.”

She smiled, looking hopeful. “Thank you! I think I’ll talk to my doctor about getting a compounded cream.”

Helping patients discover personalized solutions like compounded pain creams is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. As we approach 2025, I’m reminded of how small adjustments in care can make a big difference in someone’s life. Let’s make this year a time for healing, comfort, and new beginnings.

Until tomorrow,
