<t>Have you heard of or tried IV with lidocaine? This has been the only relief from pain that my husband has seen. It can be done up to 4 times a year if needed, and can last for years! He spent 5 days as a inpatient and had the lidocaine, that was in June 07 and none of his pain has returned. His i...

Hi...

The best relief Matt has received before the lidocaine was a hot tub, if you have one available try it out. We were told if ice helps heat will worsen the pain and the if heat helps don't ice it.

Best of luck

<t>Hi....<br/> <br/> And like all others I am sorry to hear about the accident. My husband is almost 2 years after injury with no hope of any recovery, the reason was time.....we doctored for almost a year before we even heard of the BP, so by that time all surgeries were out of the question.<br/> W...

<t>Andrew...<br/> <br/> Matt has had the IV done 1 time for 5 days as an in patient. The relief has been amazing! He has never felt better than he does today.

His pain is very bad and the drugs that he takes makes him really sick. <br/> <br/> I woul...

<t>Chris..<br/> <br/> I am happy to report that the IV with lido worked! Matt's pain is a 7-8 most days instead of a 9-10! He has laid off of the TENS unit more, which for him was his lifesaver. They want to do more in 6-8 weeks since it is helping, so he is going for it.<br/> If all else fails we w...
