I had severe MP for years after my C-section.
Finally Lidoderm patches came out and I tried those and it
put me into a remission. The numbness is even better now, 5 yrs after using them. I still get twinges if I overextend my thigh, but it is for the most part...sleeping.
I used a patch cut in half and put over the exit of the nerve at the top of the thigh and to the side... for 2 weeks in a row, and the nerve stopped going crazy and calmed down finally!
I think surgery is a last resort. But if you have tried Lidoderms and failed, I guess that is all that is left.
Mine was very painful... like 100 bee stings all at once!
