I have had an injection of lidocain and markaine shot directly into
one of my tumors with very little relief. It only lasted 3 days at
the most.

The weather was particularly deary, wet and cold. I live near the
ocean. But I was hopeful. I have also used the lidocaine patches,
with little effect. I recently found out that you really need to
place two patches on at the same time. It abosores into the
system. Placing more that three can cause an overdose, so please
don't do this without consulting your Doctor!

That's my two cents?

the areas. Just considering my right thigh, which of the many
tumors would I pick? I understand the theory behind it, but like
the patches, do not think it would work for me. I am still looking
for a lidocaine patch with the area of a queen-size bedspread so
that I can roll myself up in it. I would ask a lot of questions
before accepting any injections. Food for thought, Will
