Hello Ffibro Friends,
I was lying down resting when Dr. Oz was on and I heard they may have a new treatment plan. I am not sure if this was a rerun, normally I am taking an afternoon nap during his show.
A specialist said they treated several women with two Lidocaine injections in the upper part of the spine and two in the lower part of the spine. Some were given a placebo and some had half lidocaine and half a placebo. Those that had the actual lidocaine injected in both areas stated they somereceived relief in pain.
I had one injection in my lower back several years ago and found some relief. I am finally scheduled to see a pain specialists in January.
Has anyone had this done, if so, did it work?
Any other thoughts?
Sorry if this is old news.
One more question, are any of you clumsy? I am always dropping things, keys, purse, papers, mail, etc...

Well, our drought isn't broken but our gutter is. Got two big storms rigth after each other and, wait for it, a tornado warning.Now, I was already running for my go-bag when I heard thunder. The air felt wrong. The sky was getting a color to the west. Been there, lived that, time to hide.No funnel touched down but the radar indicated rotation, and boy was it visible from the ground.

My cat is going on trial for crimes against skink-anity. SIX in six weeks. Three this last week alone.The crack is maybe 1/4 inche wide. Maybe. Skink skitters past, her paw shoots out, her claw hooks in, she yanks, and somehow, having defied physics... WHAM. Skink-o-rama.Now, don't get me wrong, it's nice that she's a pesticidal maniac, but OMG. Skinks do no harm. They don't come inside. WTF.So,...
You can go online to the Dr Oz website and probably watch that segment again. I'm not a big fan of Dr Oz.
If I am especially tired, I am very clumsy. My balance goes mainly. I have to be extra careful and be sure to use my walker of cane. Take care.
Clumsy off balance and dropping things all the time, I just call myself a cheap drunk LOL

Also, bear in mind: "Some" received pain relief. In science talk, that means, "Not necessarily verifiable, or readily duplicated in another setting" *or* "we aren't sure why it worked on those people".
I'm very clumsy but that's partly wrist damage from a bad fall a few years ago. My fingers on one hand can go all funky. I think it's pretty normal,between pain and meds and stress, to be kinda clumsy.
I'm very clumsy but I also have nerve damage and seem to have a hard time with everything.
Good luck!
I go in this coming Monday for my injections and as of right now I don't have much pain but it's important to keep getting the injections on a regular basis for them to work for me. I have even cut my pain meds down and don't take as much Ibuprofen. The other thing it has helped me with is my constant migrains. I maybe now only have 3 or 4 a month.
