Injecting a 50/50 mixture of dextrose and lidocaine into a joint, muscle, or cartilage. The theory behind it is that it sparks the body's anti-inflammatory responses by sparking inflammation.
From an RP perspective, I would think that perhaps the lidocaine and dextrose lead to a direct therapeutic affect by nourishing tissue and reducing inflammation.
My Dr. is proposing to do that for tendinopathy in my ankle. I have asked Dr. Peat for his thoughts and will share them if he responds (I think my response rate is around 70%).
Does anybody else have thoughts or experience with this?
