Well, Janet, he injected several places where I was in so much pain on the 7th of this month and the pain is definitely back. Maybe not in the shoulder area so much but the spine is. He just injected every place he made me jump. :o) and every place he said he knew was bothering me because the swelling was so obvious.
It is not bad and worth trying. Hope it works.
Hugs.

In Canada these infusions are free to all Canadians. We are so lucky in Canada .

Janet, I am sorry I misunderstood. I haven't heard of lidocaine infusions. I am going to read the link.
I will be interested in learning more.
Hugs and Blessings. Hope it helps you.

Thanks for the link, cemc. It looks like the long-term med (if the lidocaine infusion helps) would be something different. What med would that be, Janet? Makes sense because lidocaine wouldn't be a long-term med, but something that messed with the sodium channels COULD work. I just wonder what it would be. Please update when you find out more information. I'm curious about it. (Maybe will ask my pain doc when I go in for another procedure next week (repeating my radio-frequency ablation on SI joints).

HI Rumble,
I will see the pain specialist on APril 24 and will find out what drug would be used. I do think this might benefit my neuropathic pain then the A/S, not sure ...
