Lidoderm patches.... these are sodium channel blockers and
stop pain transmission by nerves.
I would ask for these before any surgery, and use them for
at least 2 weeks or more to see if they can turn that nerve off.
If you have beginning RSD...you need special treatment.
I'd post on our RSD forum...as needles and surgery can make RSD worse in some people.

There have been some posts about venipunctures causing this on that forum. Do a search using "venipuncture" as a keyword.
