lidocaine patch when I was having meralgia paresthetica (nerve pain down front/side of thigh). You might like it, but I found it had a freezing cold sensation that freaked me out. But I don't like the coldness of eye drops either, so maybe I'm just weird. But they are expensive, so hopefully you could get a sample one to try like I did. It is Rx only.
Have you ever tried those mineral salts you can put in the tub and soak with? Some of them say they are good for pain.
My doctors have thought I had fibromyalgia before, but I've had long pain-free times, so I'm not convinced I do. I think I just have problems when I forget how to relax my muscles for too long.
