Thanks Renee - You're really "cool" too!
Here is the link to an article by Dr. Schwartzman regarding it.

It seems to be helpful for pain related to temperature (especially cold) and lasted for some up to even 3-6 months. This intrigues me since even if only 3 months of pain reduction that could get me through the worst part of our winter if timed properly. My doctor has done many lidocaine infusions for CRPS patients but doesn't have experience with the 5 day continuous therapy - he is actually reaching out to our University in hopes that someone there might be willing to give it a try.
I think the biggest hurdle would be getting Insurance to approve it
Thankfully I'm not a WC case but even so from my research it looks like that is the challenge. Hmm of course it is.. it has potential to work. grrrrrr
Have a terrific day,
Tessa
