Do you mean for fibro?

If so I have done it for a full year. Sorry to say it didn’t help me at all. But everyone is different,and it May help for you.good-luck. All the best!!

Hi. I also tried the lidocaine injections, but only once. I received 4 total. One on each forearm/elbow area where the tender spots are, and two in my back. It didn't really hurt when the doctor was giving the injections, but the next morning was horrible! I could barely move my arms. Anyway the pain went away after a couple of days, but I didn't get any lasting relief from the injections either. Since you're already scheduled, give it a shot! (haha no pun intended). Hope you get some relief! :-)

Yeah. Sadly they don’t work for everyone. I was certainly disappointed it didn’t help me. Everyone’s body reacts differently to different medications. But it’s certainly worth a try for anyone that haven’t yet. I tried steroid injections for the deteriorating disc in my neck and that worked wonders.thanks for your comment :wink:

strong textWho do you ask to get this done? ??
Family Doctor, & do you go to the hospital to have it do, or to the pain clinic? could you give me more information?

I sure am interested? Thank You,

I waited over 1yr to get in for this treatment. I had high hopes that this would work. I had tried just about everything including neve block treatments, epiderals. Unfortunately it did not help. I spent the next 4 days in bed recoverering. I don’t know if it was an allergic reaction or just side effects. I am now trying IV Vitamin treatments and pleased with results so far. Did you have the infusion and did it help?
