They work better than you'd think. You can always use straight lidocaine cream if you prefer. You just need to get through a week or so post op.

I had my first bad reaction to a stellate ganglion block last week. Lidocaine patches to my throat an well as Epsom salt cream did the trick after a few days to reduce my pain and swelling that had been escalating to a scary degree.
If surgery is the direction this goes, I will DEFINITELY keep the cream in mind!! Thank you!

It's stronger than the patches but doesn't last as long.

Went to ortho Monday afternoon. New orders for:
~PT 2x/week for 6 weeks
~Rollator walker
~Referral for neuro

Went from ortho to PCP.
New orders for:
~Increase gaba to 400mg 3x/day
~Alendronate 70mg weekly
~bupropion 150mg 2x/day

Discussed all things RSD related. Still will not sign my physical for my nursing final (I'm going to have to start accepting some stuff I don't want to accept here)

On the "GO ME!" side...I have cut my smoking in HALF with a goal of completely quitting by April 5.

Good news on the visits. It's great you get to start PT. I really liked my walker, it's a lot easier to replicate a natural gate than on crutches for sure. Glad to hear about the alendronate, I am so hoping that gives you better pressure tolerance and less pain. Keep it up on kicking the cigs, your recovery will only go up from there!
