I have had lidocaine injections and also when I had my surgery in April they filled those areas full of Lidocaine and had no pain whatsoever. I really think the key with Lidocaine is more then one infusion. I have had so many shots of it that it got me to where I am today, vertually painfree.

I didn't try for the infusions. I don't think they were even around when my PCP started doing the TPI's. They do help though. I think it's like blocks, one won't do it alone.

Good luck with them.
