Hi Mel. I had a lidocaine infusion. I also have researched a lot about ketamine infusions which is different like Mrs D said. For me the lidocaine did not help but it may for your husband. The reason my pain doctor felt it did not help was because my pain is from the RSD and not PN but who knows. I am still thinking of ketamine but that seems to be done more for RSD but I could be wrong. I had those injections similar to want your husband just had before my dx with RSD and PN when they thought it was TTS and it did not help me so maybe since they did for your husband the infusions would?

Hi Daniella:
'
When Alan read about the possible side effects he said "this is NOT for me"

So I guess that's it.

Someday someone HAS to invent a safe pain killer that won't constipate a person, has no side effects and just takes away pain.

Someday!!!!
