Recently, I heard from a Dr. in New Hampshire, that there was a new pain management system spreading through the country using steroids and lanocane. Do you know what this proceedure involves? Shots I'd presume, before, after surgery? How many? He spoke of the nurses in the knee recovery units totally approving this system, saying the patient is up and able to perform the physical therapy exercises much more easily and more painfree. My Dr. (in Calif), says the "cane" family of drugs numbs and can hinder the muscles to "fire up" like they need to during the physical therapy. I am interested in the LESS pain. Any information about this new technique would be welcome!
