Fybro/lidocaine

[Sahil2rahman]

Has anyone been given the lidocaine infusion (lignocaine) from pain management clinic for fybro related widespread pain and if so has it worked?

[desquinn Partner Volunteer FMAUK Trustee]

yes they have and yes it has worked for some but not all. Also, it is becoming more difficult to obtain in certain CCGs / Trusts.

Hi, Not the infusion but 5% patch. It works only for acute pain, for example, apply patch in back, shoulder or around neck.

It usually works for up to 12 hours.

I had lV 4 monthly over a year in the pain hospital in London. No freedom of pain was hoping at the end of the year. I asked to see the Dr hoping to have something else for my pain but all he suggested was a pain management course which ment l had to travel to London once a week for 7, week's at the cost of £50 a week plus my husband taking time off work to take me. It's got to be worth a try as you know everyone is different when it comes to pain!

I have suffered chronic Pelvic pain over 20 yrs and my Dr won't prescribe any other stronger medication only pregabalin 600, a day and paracetamol three times a day when it's really bad 4 me I take codeine and bed mine is made worse by any physical exercise after sex is the worse! So has made my life unbearable. The drs l have seen have not been very helpful and made it more difficult. Sorry for the rant but that what the Drs have done.
