Lidocaine

[Fyllida]

Does anyone have experience of lidocaine injected into the lumbar region? Thanx.

Unfortunately no it didn’t help with neuropathic pain.

Thank you, will find out more before they stick the pin in......

Following. I have been accepted into the program to get this done, but want to more also.

Tony, how bad must one’s physical condition be before being accepted. What about concurrent depression?

[tonyfiorese in reply to Nick_]

How long have you been dealing with the neuropathic pain? Where do you have it? How would you rate your pain between 1-10? Are you still mobile without cane, walker or wheelchair?

Hello Tony. Pain is in the lumbar area. Difficult to quantify ‘cos the pain veers from 3 (a couple of hours if lucky) to 9 within minutes by shooting from mild to being hit by a missile. Which does not ease to the following day, whatever techniques I try to employ. All fruitless.

Yes. Pain management burned nerves while he was at it. He called it radio frequency. Did not work fist time. Second time worked very well. Good luck!

Many thanx for the info. Am gathering all ammo I can find before committing to it. That’s so interesting and helpful. Just didn’t know!

Where is your pain, how long have you been dealing with it and are you still"functional" with your pain? Have suffered with any muscle wasting and weakness?
