Avatar f tn I have been checked 4 times and the gynocologist has seen nothing. Is it possible it is herpes? What could it be?
Avatar f tn m not sure which it is, it just started being painful in the last two days, and I have yet to see a doctor - I have Lidocaine Hydrochloride Jelly USP 2% prescription, dated 2/14/12, that was never opened, can I use it safely to see if it helps,
Avatar f tn My name is Kaylee. Last week I started having frequent urination, faul odor when I peed, and pain while urinating. I get bladder infections all the time accompanied by yeast infections on the course of my antibiotics. I had some leftover amoxicillin and I took the last 4 of them at the beginning of the week. I knew I should've just gone to see my doctor but I didn't have time because of work and needed a quick fix. Towards taking that last pill I started experiencing mild itching.
Avatar n tn If either of you had partners prior to each other, either of you could've had herpes and never knew it. At this point I'm going to assume that you never had your herpes typed. Most likely 12 years ago it was just a oh it's herpes and since it's below the waist it must be hsv2 and see ya later. At this point both you and your hubby need to get type specific herpes igg blood tests to see who has what and then go from there.
Avatar f tn At 2 months post exposure I thought I was experiencing folliculitis and was overzealous with some razor burn wipes (containing alcohol, salicilic acid and glycolic acid) which I think gave me a chemical burn in my vagina and rectum-that was the only time that a provider looked and saw red raw patches near introitus and rectum and said could be wipes, yeast or herpes. All cultures negative. I was also experiencing some peripheral neuropathy.
Avatar f tn s hard with it being a holiday but this very well could be oral and genital herpes and a lesion culture done early on will help you figure that out as well as the sooner you start antivirals, the better.
Avatar f tn My dentist gives me my shot and see another patient, by the time he got back to me I was fully numb. and the numbness last for 8 - 12 hours. I am highly allergic to lidocaine it puts me into anaphylactic shock, I have an epipen but sa that I don't have to use that I just make sure everyone is doing their job and I always wear my medic alert bracelet.
Avatar f tn As soon as I put either lidocaine or coconut oil they get less red and go away. They have never broken out into a blister. I was tested 3 months ago for Herpes and came back positive for only Herpes 1. Any idea what might be going on? Does it sound like it could be Genital Herpes 1 (pretty sure I contracted it when I was little, but have never experienced a cold sore on my mouth)? Should I get retested for HSV 2? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Is this the case as I am concerned that somehow these recurrent outbreaks will reach the baby and cause congenital neonatal herpes. I am aware of the requirements closer to the birth and not using invasive procedures for monitoring or delivery assistance. Also, is it okay to dab a bit of isopropyl alcohol on the lesion (then use a cool hairdryer) as before I was pregnant this seems to help dry them out, but I am not sure during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn ve tried pain meds, am on valcyclovir in case of it really being herpes, lidocaine, and over the counter vaginal creams. The only thing that has soothe pain at all is castor oil. I am going crazy with all this pain. What can it be and how can I treat the pain so I can sleep?
Avatar f tn I got tested for syphilis, gonorrhea, etc but I was most worried about it being herpes! I got tested for herpes and my results will be back in 4 days, but I am wondering if it could be something else? When I got tested for herpes the doctor said that it looked somewhat like herpes but something was a little off. They did a swab test and started me on acyclovir which they said would reduce the pain/heal herpes blisters really quickly.
Avatar n tn I recommend going to be seen and getting tested for vaginitis. Yeast and bacterial infections vaginally can cause rashes like you've described as well as trigger your herpes to reoccur too. This isn't acting like a typical herpes ob and it doesn't sound like just herpes so you need to follow up on it.
Avatar f tn So I have really bad vaginismus to the point where intercourse can only be done with a lot of lidocaine and with the help of dilators. I am 15 weeks pregnant and concerned about delivery. Will my vaginismus prevent me from vaginal delivery? Is anyone else dealing with or has dealt with this??
Avatar f tn Months ago I had what I was told was a herpes outbreak in my vagina. Flu like symptoms, swollen, hurt to pee (I couldn't go for days because of the extreme pain until given lidocaine gel). I had not had sex or ANY kind of sexual contact 2 years prior. The culture done in the ER was inconclusive (he also had to redo it because he messed it up so I think he probably did it wrong the second time too) but the blood test ordered by a gyno I was sent to was negative.
Avatar f tn ve had quite a few stellate ganglion blocks and have had some success. They thought the lidocaine infusion might help the other pain I deal with and kill two (or more) birds at the same time so to speak. KittKat23-78, Sorry the infusion didn't help you!! I hadn't heard about having several a few days apart; I'll have to ask about it. Mine is (at least one) being paid for by worker's comp. I'm hopeful but also trying to keep things realistic and in perspective.
1571533 tn?1322943509 Hey. I went to my PCP yesterday and he gave me a LIDODERM, a lidocaine patch, to try and help with the pain in my neck -he thinks if that calms down so will the migraines.. theyve been everyday constantly for well over a month and a half, and no meds help.. nor do therapeutic methods i have here at home.. Has anyone here used it before? And did it help? I tried to use it last night but it wouldnt stick to my neck.
Avatar m tn So urologist did not help, he said a dermatologist since is skin issue. What should I do now? Should I retest agian? I'm doubting my results. I put some aquaphor last night to see if that would help but it didn't. The itching and burning is driving me crazy. I don't want put lidocaine again, I want to find out what I have and not patch things up. Any advice?
Avatar m tn left pointer finger, at work i stuck a cedar sliver under the nail past the start point of the nail. I attempted to pull it out and it broke off. only 1/4 inch came out so a good 1/2 inch is still in there i can see it thru the nail. I attempted to cut and split the nail with razor blade but once i got part way thru nail it hurt bad. my co-worker gave me a new 10ml bottle of lidocaine, he uses it to give himself stitches.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever been prescribed this for genital outbreaks or PHN? My doctor did for PHN. I just tried it for the first time it hurt to apply and doesn't feel the most pleasant now. Has anyone ever used this and what was your experience?
Avatar m tn About 4 or 5 days later after running 10 miles on a hot day, I started noticing a small bump, looks like a hard pimple toward the base of my penis. A few days later I started putting some banzallkuonium and lidocaine on it as well as some hydrocordizone, as I was trying to get rid of the pimple. Shortly after I have had burning in the genital area and it has been lasting about 4 or 5 days. The burning in not on the pimple and the pimple is not sore to the touch.
Avatar n tn Turns out that over the next few days I got MORE of these so called blisters, they were white and open, did not drain and were VERY sore. I went to my OB GYN doc and she said 99% it was herpes and did another biopsy. It was and I got started on Valtrex and topical lidocaine jelly for the pain and they dried up and went away.
383138 tn?1314167773 But since I had such severe heart reaction to just a shot of lidocaine at dentist in the past, the cardiologist said I am lucky I didnt go into cardiac arrest at that time and if they put lidocaine in me again he said my heart may suddenly fail (sudden cardiac arrest) and it may not be able to recover next time. And the warnings on lidocaine (even for people w/out heart problems) are such things as: rare but possible arrhythmias and cardiac arrest.
Avatar n tn I am a 25 year old female and I had a seizure while having dental work done about 3 weeks ago. I had been given lidocaine and nitrous oxide. Following the appointment, I went to a neurologist and had a CT scan and an MRI done. Both showed no brain abnormalities. I had eclampsia 4 years ago and had seizures which resulted in the early delivery of my child. Aside from my seizures 4 years ago, I had no previous history of seizure disorder.
Avatar n tn I would feel a whole lot better without using any anesthetic during the procedure since I had a terrible experience back in 1989 when I was given a skin test for Lidocaine and Meprivacaine? both WITHOUT EPINEPHRINE,YES,WITHOUT EPINEPHRINE and I made sure of that before the skin test.They had to discontinue the Lidocaine because of heart side effects.But they finished with the other one and they thought that everything was fine and sent me home..The next day,BOOM! they hit with a vengence..P.
Avatar n tn Re: Lidocaine Enemas. I am warning everyone to be careful. My brother just died 3/31/12 from a lidocaine enema. He was only 28. (Lidocaine Intoxication) Lidocaine in liquid form. I don't want anyone elses loved ones to die like this. I hope everyone will be careful when dealing w/lidocaine. it is a dangerous substance when not used properly.
