Unfortunately I cannot wear a lido patch on my endometrium lining to prevent the spread of burning pain!!
I greatly appreciate any helpful suggestions from others who may have experienced this.

A temporary increase of pain meds MAY help. My current doc says it only masks the pain, but IMO if a new area of spread has not set in, it doesn't have to become permanent. THERE are certainly blocks that can be used in your situation as well. And lastly, how urgent is the procedure? Has your RSD doc signed off on the procedure and advised you?
