I have had chronic neuropathic pain since 2003. I have tried everything including epi injections and the Fentanyl patches. My pain level was about 9/10 to 10/10 on a daily basis and the Fentanyl brought it down to about 7-8/10.

However, I am now getting Lidocaine infusions and I NOW HAVE MY LIFE BACK! My pain levels are 2-3/10, I can think and do regular daily activities as long as I don't overdue. I am still on the Fentanyl but am now hoping to titrate down as it is such a powerful opiate. Check with your doctor about the Lidocaine infusions. They sure work for me.
