Common Questions and Answers about Abscess formation spinal anesthesia

abscess

Avatar n tn There are no reports of cyst formation as a result of spinal steroid injection. There are reports which mention abscess formation, but it would have more symptoms than just pain. Anyways, it will be useful to rule out an abscess. Repeated needle injury and infection can lead to an abscess. An abscess is a localized collection of infected material, secretions and is usually enclosed in a closed "cyst-like" space. There are chances that the cyst may be present earlier.
Avatar m tn Hi there, The common sites for abscess formation are groin s and armpits. Abscesses are caused by minor breaks and punctures of the skin, obstruction of sweat glands and oil glands, and inflammation of hair follicles. These abscesses contain dead cells, bacteria, and other debris, which causes inflammation and pain. The common bacteria are staphylococci but sometimes tuberculosis can also lead to abscess formation.
Avatar n tn If you do have the dentistry performed please advise the vet that you would also like preanesthetic blood work performed on your cat. A complete anesthesia profile, including blood work is necessary to determine if anesthesia is safe for your cat, and is well worth the additional cost.
Avatar f tn secondly there are no herbs or natural remedies that will be effective with the treatment of this abscess, kitty will need to be on a medication from your Vet. an abscess can be a life threatening issue, please don't hesitate to have a Vet look after this for kitty. I could give you some idea's on natural remedies to help strengthen his immune system(only) after the surgery if you like, however do be sure and use the antibiotic as prescribed.
1399266 tn?1280637104 My 8 year old cat, Kupid was diagnosed with a dental abscess about a week ago and put on clindamycin 1 ml twice a day. When she started she had a pink drainage coming from her right eye and right nostril. Her eye has gotten better and her nose has slightly improved. She is still sneezing and looks terrible but she is eating on her own. This cat has failed the pre anesthesia test twice after having complications during her spay surgery so we are reluctant to put her under to pull her tooth.

Avatar f tn Hello, My mother has alot of pain in her left arm and the doctors diagnosed this "Degenerative changes noted in Cervical Spine interior Osteophyte formation noted from C5 to C7. There is a mild decreased in body heights of C5 to C6 along with disk space narrowing at C5 to C6 and C6 to C7 level. what does this mean? Should this be a major concern? what are the treatment options available for this i mean medication wise the doctors prescribed like 5 different medications?
Avatar f tn This may be brought about by a break in the skin/areola, producing a superimposed infection and thus abscess formation. If there is an abscess, incision and drainage must be done and the specimen is sent to the pathologist for evaluation. Good luck.
Avatar f tn The orthopedic surgeon mentioned that the most likely anesthesia would be an epidural rather than a general anesthesia. There is little information on epidurals online. Is it given directly into the spine, like the spinal they sometimes give during labor? Someone told me that, for knee surgeries, the epidural is actually given below the spinal cord and there is no risk of injury to the spinal cord.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had spinal anesthesia for a laparotomy? I was given a choice of spinal or general for my upcoming ovarian cyst open surgery? I was surprised and uninformed. Any experience? I've never had a spinal before, have had general anesthesia several times. I was told I would be kept asleep. I would not want to be awake during the surgery. Thanks!
Avatar f tn So I watched a video on youtube about preauricular sinus infection and I learned that it could lead to the formation of abscess. When I was young, I didn't know what the hole was and I often got very irritated with it when it had secretions. I played with it so much that one day I realized a second hole was formed near the "crus of helix" of my right ear couple cm below the first one and that it also extends deep into my ear like the first hole above.
Avatar f tn Inadequate pain control, haematoma formation, infection/ inflammations, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, scar formation, malpositioning etc are other few causes. To minimize this physiotherapy is recommended at an early stage. Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) devices may also be used for the process. If these do not seem to help, manipulation under anesthesia is a usual procedure, done 6-12 weeks after surgery.
Avatar n tn (1 morning+2 afternoon+1 night) and after 2 weeks ESR level was down to 96mm/hr and bone showed slight improvement. There was collection of abscess in left psoas which was aspirated. I continued the above treatment and my ESR level reduced to 80mm/hr. Further MRI + blood test in Aug'07 revealed that L2 region also got affected and my ESR level started to rise again.
Avatar f tn Bleeding from the breast can be because of infection, abscess formation or cancer. Microscopic examination of the discharge to look for blood cells and any abnormal cells and mammography will help make the diagnosis. Consult your Doctor. Hope this helps.

Avatar n tn I am a doctor mysf and have been getting urethral dilatation under local anesthesia(lignocaine gel) for over 3 yrs. the only time spinal block was used was when i was having my first dilatation done.It is a bit more painful and difficult but better than getting anesthesia all the time which has its own drawbacks. Hope it helps.
Avatar f tn i have a arachnoid cyst in my brain..and i need to get spinal anesthesia for my csection...since the spinal meds are injected into the spinal fluid....what could it do to the cyst in my head?
6358958 tn?1380602054 If there is tenderness on pressing the neck from outside, then this could be due to spinal nerve compression, inflamed sternocleidomastoid muscle as in TMJ (this would respond to physiotherapy, pain killers and cold compress), swollen lymph nodes if you can feel a mass, an abscess if you can feel a mass, a clot in the carotid artery or due to a muscle pull. A MRI of the cervical spine and nerve conduction studies may be required.
7792797 tn?1413503184 Hey ladies that have had a c section... does the insertion of the spinal hurt MORE or less than an iv/getting your blood drawn? 2) how bad is the needle used to numb u before they insert the spinal? Thanks!!!!
Avatar f tn Hi leelariah, If left untreated, the external opening may temporarily close with a resultant recurrent abscess formation or formation of a more complex fistula. These complex fistulas often traverse deep to the external sphincter making operative repair more hazardous. Additionally, long-standing fistulas have a low but real risk of malignant transformation. And blood in stools is definitely abnormal.
Avatar m tn If you feel them then u need to check ur teeth for abscess formation, periodontal pockets or wisdom tooth infection.
Avatar f tn At 10 cm dilation I was taken for emergency c section since babys head didnot desent. They gav anesthesia to my spinal I dint feel any pain as was already in labor that pain of spinal anesthesia felt like nothing. But I was not getting that numbness then finally then gave general anesthesia throgh a nose mask and ask me to breath in. Immediately I was unconsious and dont even know what has happened by the time I could hear anything everything was done and they were shifting me from OR.
Avatar f tn Last time it was very painful even 2 times local anesthesia did not worked for me. Doctor said this happened due to inflammation. Anybody have any idea how to manage the pain. Should I take pain killers before getting it done and which one should I take? Also is it true that if we keep getting drainage done the pus will keep coming back so should we not get it done? Please share your experiences. Thanks all!!
Avatar m tn 2) Uncovertebral osteophyte formation resulting in moderate to severe degree of foraminal stenosis bilaterally at C5-6 and moderately at C6-7. 3) Satisfactory appearance of artificial disk at C4-5. 4) Congenitally small spinal canal. There has been no interval change when compared to recently performed MRI of 01/26/11. 5) Moderate right foraminal stenosis at C3-4 with truncation of the nerve root sleeve on CT myelographic images.
293157 tn?1285873439 I personally hate spinal anesthesia. I do not like needles in my spine it is like a LP or the hours of coming out of it where I can't move. I have done both and am for be knocked out personally. I have had lots of surgery with MS and have never had a problem.
