Should topical analgesic be applied to location of the damaged nerve in neck, or site of referred pain, or both?

The area where pain : Apply a topical analgesic to the area where pain is felt unless the doctor advises otherwise. Topical anlagesics work on nerve endings and this is typically where the pain is felt.
