Some people get MP from bone graft harvesting too.

So intercepting it higher near the spine might work. But I have read that there is a genetic variation in which nerve splits off which lumbar to provide the lateral femoral branch. So it varies with people. I did mine on the leg, where the nerve exits the abdomen.

Lidoderms are expensive. If your doctor balks, just tell him that all the nursing homes (where I used to supply) use them now instead of addicting narcotics. That should satisfy him!

I had to provide my doctor with the Celebrex study and some other things I found on the net. She will give me one RX for 90 once a year now. She rolls her eyes, but does it. And that is all that matters.
