My back does not give me as much trouble. I think the nerve has been pinched at the groin for too long. I will say that finding the advice for the lidoderm patch to be applied where the nerve is close to the skin at the groin where it is been pinched was very helpful. I also have been on Lyrica for many years which I don't realize helps until I skip a couple doses. Thankfully, I have had no side effects.

I am with you, I have had MP for 15 years diagnosed 1 months ago. I also have taken Lyrica for 5 years very effectively. Lidoderm was bit harder for me to start with because of the sensation of tearing burning flesh from my body when you tried to remove them (Men don't shave their legs). Once I knew I had MP and moving it to the abdomen mad a world of difference. They gave me a tens unit as well, the tech has no clue what MP is so they didn't give me proper placement for it to work, but I'll report any findings on it.
