re lidocaine
I am a big fan of viscous lidocaine. MInd you it only works locally and only for a short time. The local part it great the short time effect sucks!
It does not replace a Oxycodone/Fentanyl etc ! but you can use it together with them. I used the lidocaine from week 5 one when I wanted to drink/eat or speak. It allowed me to reduce the other narcotics.
