For a while I thought I found good pain relief with Lidocaine patches on my bacck or spine. It worked great. Problem is I thought I was getting spikes of mood changes, but turns out it was the Lidocaine patches and I had to detox from them. Its saddening, because I thought I finally found pain relief. Anyone else have the same issue? Any other effective OTC pain relief methods asides from cold and heat or prescriptions?
Topical 1:1 Canna cream can help if you can find a good one.
I understand. I was getting 10-20 lidocaine trigger point injections for almost a year and stopped a fewonths ago. Really miss the few hours of relief. Have you used a topical NSAID like volatren cream? I apply it on any extra achy spots and then use the roller and stretch. Also a TENS unit interrupts the pain cycle and it helps me. Hope you find something that gives you relief. It's a struggle for sure.
I'm regularly at a pain level of 7 or 8 and just sucking....
I hope you can find some help with the pain level you are experiencing.
