My sister has MS and spasticity. Over the past year, she started using lidocaine patches to target certain areas but the pain is becoming more. Has anyone tried a lidocaine through a lumbar catheter? Did it help more? Did it last longer? Is it worth it?

Thanks for your input

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!
