Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi, Have any of you ever heard of or had IV lidocaine therapy for your pain? I was recently diagnosed with Central Pain Syndrome and this is a treatment option. Thanks, Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 No hospitalization needed, it is done in the physicians office. The actual infusion only takes 30 minutes. You are hooked up to an EKG, they monitor your oxygen levels too. Start to finish the procedure takes about an hour. The amount is based on your weight. I'm actually getting very excited about having it done. The 28th seems like a lifetime away, lol. Lori in Ohio > > Would you have to be hospitlized for this?
