Default HELP - itching

I am new here - have a friend who had RSD in R knee since 2006 - SCS trial worked but in OR when the perm one was truned on the RSD went to both feet (they could not keep him under) - it appears that is has now gone to his upper body (head/face/neck/shoulder/back and chest)

He had this incrediable heat/redness/burning/sweating and itching.
Had a gabapent cream compounded but he gets like acid trips from it.
Currnetly on 600 mg of Lyrica, cmbalta, celebrex, trasadone, atavin.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A IDEA ON HOW TO STOP THE ITCHING. He has been getting sympathic lumbar block every two months that help with the feet - but his doctor is 150 miles away and will not be here till Nov 13.

Bad part is that he is 6'4" and must travel with his legs extended and does not have a vehicle. OH! and it is a worker comp injury.
THANK all of you for any help.
