I have a moderate case of carpal tunnel but do not want to opt for surgery just yet. The pain associated is bad enough to cause me to abandon some lifts like the bench press. I read that a liodcaine patch has been used with great success to reduce the carpal tunnel pain.
I made a water based lidocaine gel with DMSO before and always ended up feeling very light headed within minuites of ther application (not ideal for working out). I cannot remember why I made the gel, it was over a year ago but it was not for carpal tunnel. Does anyone have any idea as to how to formulate a decent lidocaine gel or more specifically which transdermal carrier or permeation enhancer to use?
