Thank you csteele. I'm currently working with a pain management center at nura pain management. The tense device is in my future plans. I've already had 2 nerve block injections which my body didn't like and went into seizures. tried taking gabapentin...didnt like that either. Also tried time release patches...struck out with that as well. So far the pain is only on.my lower right leg. I've done alot of research and found that taken high doses of vitamin C has a chance of it not spreading so I started taken 500 mlg...time will tell. This is very painful and yes I am taking pain meds along with tylenol extra strength 500 mlg and it does seem to take the edge off for a few hours. this something I would never want anyone to experience

Hello smallengineguy, may I ask what medication was in the time released patches? I use prescription 5% Lidocaine patches for my back pain. They work pretty well but after so many months they seem to lose some of their effect. I also use OTC liquid 4% Lidocaine and swab it on my knees w/ a Q-Tip. It's weired stuff. I think it works but has a sensation of it's own. My knees burn and sting worse than the rest of my body which is bad enough! I've had 4 L-spine injections without incident. The first 3 didn't work so I've had 3 surgeries since. My 4th injection was 2 weeks ago. No problems but no changes. I really hope you can find relief!!!! I'm so sorry to hear about your pain! I know it only too well! Many blessings and prayers, Sunnyflower
