I travel this road with you.
Had surgery for Mortans neuroma didn’t work and the dr simply said I didn’t follow his instructions!
The journey is isolating at times but you are not alone.
Yesterday a neuro dr mentioned lidocaine infusion?! Never heard of it but will do some research. I am trying a compounding cream of lidocaine ketamine and Baclofen.
Bless you take care

There has been recent chat through the forum about lidocaine infusions. I have been receiving them for 2 months. The one thing I can say based on my research is lidocaine appears to be on the come up as replacing opiods for pain relief. It is known to be a safe and effective substitute. I have not had any side effects so will keep pursuing the highest dose until I feel I am receiving adequate pain relief. As of now I have maybe 20-30%. If it doesn't achieve effective pain relief...well then at least I know I've tried. I admire Doctors who bring new treatments to the table and keep trying for their patients.
