Avatar m tn Lie?! on what purpose I tell you a lie? were a doctor don't deserve to be worried? I've read some article here and there which said that it's a risk, and some say that it's a no risk... some said that you should take a PEP, and some say you shouldn't take it because you don't have to... some said there's should be some quantity of blood and a few drop of blood in the eye won't infect you... which one is the most likely correct statement? btw okay then...
Avatar f tn Does the fact that the lidocaine eliminated the pain have any implications for why my eye is still hurting? Thanks!
Avatar m tn Getting lidocaine for wisdom tooth extraction--felt the needle going in and woke up 45 minutes later in ER. I had had a seizure! Hundreds of shots for teeth over the years, never any such experience. Surgeon swore he found no blood in syringe and couldn't understand why I seized. Swore he did everything right, never heard of lidocaine causing a seizure this way. Apologized profusely. I'm now worried about completing the extraction, which has to be done.
Avatar n tn t see anything that would interfere with actual clotting mechanism in the body as a whole. The best thing to do is ask your doctor or pharmacist before using this.
Avatar m tn Some people ice the area (personally I think the cold hurts worse than the teeny needle poke)...Others have been able to get a 2% lidocaine gel from their pharmacist (usually used for premature ejaculation issues) and apply that to the area, but most just do it cold turkey... Have you started your shots yet? If so, and you are worried about the needle, it is a very teeny and short little thing and, when you finally get brave enough to "just do it", you barely feel it.
Avatar n tn MS is not directly inherited, but genetics play an important role in who gets the disease. While the risk of developing MS in the general population is 1/750, the risk rises to 1/40 in anyone who has a close relative (parent, sibling, child) with the disease." http://www.nationalmssociety.org/about-multiple-sclerosis/what-we-know-about-ms/who-gets-ms/index.
Avatar n tn THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH MY SON TODAY BUT THE THING IS THAT THE DENTIST WAS HONEST AND SHE SAID THAT DURING THE INJECTION OF ANESTHETIC SHE ASPIRED INSIDE OF THE SYRINGE BLOOD SO NORMAL SHE GAVE MY SON 2.0%LIDOCAINE STRAIGHT INTO THE BLOOD VESSEL SO IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE BRAIN.I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THE DENTIST DOESNT LOOK BETTER TO SEE IF ITS ANY COMPLICATIONS AND ANY BLOOD AND THEN IF ITS SAFE TO PROCEED.?
Avatar f tn When she was in the hospital in the beginning I think they thought she was faking and were really mean about it. I refuse to let anyone be that way to her. I keep searching have taken to counseling etc, they said they thought she was fine. She had a year of illness before this so I was always trying to connect the dots.
Avatar f tn Today I used the bathroom and when I wiped I noticed a quarter sized amount of blood on the tp. Looking in the toilet I noticed blood in the bottom. I'm in so much pain now, it feels like the worst case of hemmys I've ever had. Should I consult my doc or what. I used dibucaine ointment and am contemplating lidocaine jelly. Any other tx options would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn Usually, a local injection of lidocaine, then a small excision in the office, and usually not much bleeding at all and usually no stitches. Quick and easy hopefully. Helps if your surgeon has good skills.
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 f tn It probably isn't the lidocaine, it's the epinephrine that is in the lidocaine. You can ask your dentist to use an anesthetic without epinephrine, I have had tons of dental work and always ask for that. Dentist doesn't mind at all and I've never had any problems. It doesn't last as long but if you start to feel anything while they are working the dentist will just give you more. I have done fine with it.
673999 tn?1226935279 The lidocaine is a local anesthetic and the bicarbonate allows the lidocaine to penetrate the bladder wall to get to the bladder nerves. Lidocaine without the bicarbonate solution has only minimal bladder wall penetration and very short duration of action (minutes to an hour). In my clinic if 5 daily instillations is effective in treating the pain, I teach patients how to instill the solution themselves and give them a script for the supplies and solution for at home use. Good Luck.
Avatar m tn I make sure I have a driver and take pain meds before I leave the house. The the doc using a lidocaine gel for the stretching, afterward I keep an insta ice pack with me and apply ice immediately under my clothes. I have some small ones. I also find taking AZO before hand and for the first day or so afterward helps. Truthfully, I have done it with no pain meds and with something to relax me etc.
Avatar f tn You may also have occipital neuralgia, which can be treated with a combination steroid / lidocaine injection to the occipital nerve at the base of your neck. This should be tried if it hasn't already. I have to tell you that the combination of vision changes (floaters) and weird pain around the eye IS STILL possibly migraine.
Avatar f tn re still following it just in case. Throw the 5 kids in and ... you get the idea. But now, even when the pain was really bad over New Year's, I can deal with it. I'm hoping someone here has had experience with the lidocaine infusion. It sounds somewhat promising. Not a permanent fix but something is better than nothing. And it's a much easier procedure than the stellate ganglion block. I'm focusing on being more positive in 2011.
Avatar n tn t give time for the lidocaine to set in before he began the procedure. After the 3rd biopsy I told him we were going to have to stop the test because of the pain. At that point he told the nurse to give more lidocaine. After the 2nd shot it became bearable but he was still very rough in his technique Besides the bruising and soreness, I experienced ear pain yesterday and today my throat and esophagus feel strange. My gums feel as though I have flossed them vigorously in that they feel swollen.
Avatar m tn 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. advice as to where to put the needle (i got from cvs insulin 31g-8mm),what to expect ie: will it burn- how long b4 its numb, and if i split the nail will it grow back? any advice will help..
1571533 tn?1322943509 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 Hey all, thanks for your valuable answers, I'll cut to the case. I'm a general doctor and a few hrs ago I was suturing a deep hand cut. When injecting lidocaine, some of it, probably mixed with the patient's blood drops, spurted and landed on my face (around the mouth I believe) and glasses. I wiped it and then washed everything off, after I came around from the small shock. Do I run a risk of getting an infection?
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 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.
Avatar f tn Thus it is possible to cause a tear or injury that would not be noticed until the lidocaine wore off. In the case of normal intercourse, this should not be a problem.
Avatar m tn Can it be that your girl friend has used lidocaine ointment for pain in vagina? Lidocaine can affect your glans, causing you feeling of numbness. I hope some one come out with appropriate answer to solve your problem. This is a delicate question. Did anyone else experience similar problem with her. I understand that this quite a delicate question. However, if you have continue relationship, you might have to ask frank question. It is again intruquing Sp?
Avatar f tn Afrin liquid down my nose, which ran down my throat (she never told me what she was putting in, I saw the labels after she was done). I started to fell like my throat was swelling. She left and 5 mins later the doctor came in and had an NP that was shadowing. He introduced the NP and said he was going to take a look at me. He looked in my ears, nose, & mouth with the light.
Avatar m tn Hello and Welcome to the Pain Mangement Forum. I am sorry that this has happened to you. Urine drug screens are looking for narcotics, THC and similar substances. Lidocaine is from the "cain" drug family of local numbing agents and not the "caine" drug family of cocaine an opiate. In spite of the similarity in names, these drugs are not very closely related chemically and their chemical structures are very different.
306455 tn?1288862071 LOL I will be the first to try the lidocaine suit. Let me know when it comes out. I have to tell you why I'm in such pain right now. Picture this or better yet try it LOL: sit on the floor, spread your legs apart as far as they will go, then bend over so your face is as close to the floor as possible, now hold this position for about 6 hours and repeat everyday for 2 weeks. This has been my job for the last 2 weeks, painting a rug on a floor.
