I tried lidocaine cream once on my back before i start working out. Didnt really work cause i still felt stinging and pain on other parts of my body such as neck or stomach and when i finished and went to take a shower , hot water was painful on the areas that used lidocaine on. Like a sharp pain and stinging. I stopped using it since. There's thing. I workout in my house. Using treadmill and others stuff in doors, But when i workout in summer there is no stinging at all while working out but in other seasons it starts like 2 minutes after i'm doing physical activity. Temperature of the room is always the same but why its NOT happing much in summer ? And its worst in fall and winter ? I dont get it

Good afternoon @razaborsi and @athenalee ..I gave this more thought and realized that we are not taking into account the weather changes in fall and winter. Part of those changes have to do with barometric pressure. As the pressure declines, the pain and discomfort rise. For example, right now a storm is on its way and it is quite brisk outside....in the 30's. I just came back from the river and my body is complaining already, especially my hands.

Regarding the lidocaine compound recipe above......I used those for a while and kept asking my neurologist for more efficacy in the compound. I was maxed out and so I went to medical cannabis. It was more effective as long as I chose the right ingredients.

How about Voltaren.....it used to be by Rx only and now is OTC. I found it helpful pre and post-surgery many years ago. It might be worth a try to see how it works now.

And if you want a record to show your clinician.....just give every day of Barometric pressure a score for your pain and stinging. See what happens.

I am here for you......still in discovery mode as are so many of us.

Be safe and protected from inner and outer harm.
Chris
