You know, I've tried all sorts of configurations with the patches and also the lido + prilo lotion, but no, nothing. I even try them now and again because...I don't know, I guess I think that this time, maybe it will help. I do the same with Tramadol. None of it really does help, but I'm just, you know, checking every few weeks.

I had lidocaine infusions as well though and it seemed to increase my pain. I am not sure if that was a fluke or not of the day |

The infusion does increase my pain levels initially but that eases off after a few days and I get relief. |

Ok Maybe Mrs D or someone else could answer and I am sorry this is off topic a little. Lidocaine infusions are used for PN but why not ketamine infusions? They are being used for RSD and I know PN is different but I was just curious.
Mala how many times did you try the patches? I tried mine multiple times so I know my increased pain was not a fluke but sometimes it is just a flare up. Maybe you could ask for the cream or this just may not be the med for you and maybe discuss alternatives |

I think ketamine is more often used in Europe:
http://www.neuropathie.nu/medicatie/...sche-pijn.html I think it is used more for RSD type neuropathic pain, which is slightly different than PN.

I don't care where your info is coming from but I have severe PN and get lidocaine infusion once a month at the hospital and it works miracles for me! I go to ambulatory care at the hospital and they hook me up to an IV on the back of my hand, my veins are best there, I sit for about an hour and for the next month I'm pain free. Oh I may have bad day or two but that's nothing in comparison to what it was. The room has about 6 people getting the same thing. We sit around and chat or watch TV. I also take Gabapenten 3 times a day. Maybe being in Canada makes a difference but lidocaine is my life saver. I can't understand why some doctors say no. I've been on it for almost 2 years now. Please push for this. River |

I would love mine once a month but am now fighting with my local hospital as they say it is too expensive and I will only get it every 12weeks- not good. Although I know it really works now as I have not had an infusion for 8 weeks and I am in agony
