[QUOTE=mrsD;1168839]If your damage is at the dorsal root level, I don't think topicals can work for you. If your pain is compressive in origin, then yes, I think the lidocaine may work, depending on where you apply it.




I don't understand what you mean by the dorsal root level as opposed to compressive neuropathy (which I do understand).

If this was purely a SFN issue without nerve compression at the wrist, then would the topical work or not?

Thanks!
