I have had MP for decades. I have tried almost everything. Lidoderm patches would drop the pain intensity one or two levels at times but not very often. Using a TENS unit did not provide relief. Physical therapy was of no help. When the MP was constant, 24/7, my pain mgt. doc suggested direct nerve block into the LFCN. First one was great for the first few hours but the pain returned. Second injection helped- reduced my pain levels to 6 and 7. Third injection proved extremely helpful. Will be scheduling my next injection very soon.

Different treatments work differently on different people. Maybe pain patches, physical therapy, TENS unit, may be beneficial to you. Might be worth a try.
