lidocaine vs bupivacaine

Not very long time ago, I've found out that I'm allergic to lidocaine I have really horrible allergy on my face, around eyes and mouht area. I'm really fobic to go to the dentist and now it makes me suffer even of thinking I have to go, because they can't give me an anaestetic! I know, that there's two groups of 'caine' anaestetic, but how can I found out which one I'm allergic to? Which one can be used by a dentist on me?Who could do a test for me?

The injection consists of a mixture of local anesthetic such as lidocaine or bupivacaine and the a steroid such as triamcinolone, Aristocort or methylprednisolone, Depo-medrol or Celestone-Soluspan. It is usually the treating physicians choice. Be sure you research the procedure and be aware of all the possible side effects. Many ppl have these procedures without any side effects but some do experience them.

The only other time I have experienced any redness is from giving myself contact dermatitis in my vagina from too much aspercream with lidocaine down there. Am now just using coconut oil with lidocaine for pain and started a ssri. Saw a pain doctor who believes my pain is viral in nature-maybe shingles recurrence (which I have had in the past but not in groin area). Have you ever heard of any cases of herpes like this??

The problem is I cannot remember how I did it. Lidocaine, bupivacaine, and tetracaine all reduce symptoms from being almost unbearable to something resembling manageable but they do not heal it. If I recall correctly something was done to block synapse receptors (like acetylcholine? I am guessing). Having skimmed through a neurology textbook the 'caine' chemicals are usually sodium channel blockers and I believe they do not entirely interrupt the signal.

The radiofrequency neurolysis is a good procedure for temporal tendonitis if that is what you have. Lidocaine/cortisone injections are equally effective. Both may need to be repeated. The big issue is why you may have temporal tendonitis---usually from clenching/bruxing associated with TMJ pain or sleep disordered breathing. Follow scottma's advice and find a qualified orofacial pain specialist and get a correct diagnosis.

s a simple procedure. Done with lidocaine in the office. In inserts pellets into the buttocks. Has anyone every heard of this procedure before? Also, if I could get some feedback on what my friends here think about such. Also, after reading the difference of being treated with pharmaceutial hormone replacement therapy vs. bio-idenitical hormone replacement therapy. I'm seriously thinking of going with the latter of the two. Is anyone receiving bio-idenitical hormone replacement?

My Mom generally gets very little or very short term (a few days) of relief from an injection. They give her a mixture of Kenalog (liquid prednisone) and lidocaine, a numbing agent. It seems like as soon as the lidocaine wears off, the pain is back. Keep us posted as to how you're doing! Good luck!!

The cream contains ingredients I am familiar with mainly as oral meds - ketoprophen, gabapentin, amitriptyline and bupivacaine. I al to use if for 8 weeks and then see him again. The pharmacy has to make the cream, so I don't have it yet and can't report if it does or doesn't work. But I'm wondering if this type of combination works for a toe, why isn't something like this prescribed for other neuropathic pains? Does anyone have ideas or experience with this?

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..

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.

Hi, If RSD progresses, or shows no response to medication, a widely employed therapeutic intervention for RSD is cervical or lumbar paravertebral sympathetic block with anesthetic injections such as mepivacaine or bupivacaine. The pain relief may be extremely good, for a time more than the action of the anesthetic. Some patients may be cured by a surgical procedure that involves excision of one or more sympathetic nerves, also called as sympathectomy.

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.

ask them about nerve blockers bupivacaine.... hows your blood pressure??? or the medications verapamil, have they tried any of the triptans? imitrex?

wants to do a lidocaine IV infusion, he says IV infusion of lidocaine is different than the dental injection. My cardiologist says I can't have lidocaine at all, due to my past severe heart reaction to it, but my pain dr. thinks it will be OK and has scheduled me for infusion for pain relief for this Friday. I dont know what to do, so any info on the lidocaine and any contraidictions with heart arrhythmias would be helpful. Thankyou.

There are no contraindications for using lidocaine for the purpose described. The only danger is that lidocaine completely anesthetizes tissue, which is why you can cut or suture an area treated by lidocaine. 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.

In a simple dental procedure, I had what I can only describe as a seizure after getting what was supposed to be lidocaine and epinephrine injection. The area never got numb, and the pain from the point of the needle each time they attempted to inject me was painful. I was taken to the ER and released after 8 hours with no explanation. I read that lidocaine can cause a seizure. I have had injections many times with no problem. What could have gone wrong?

I just wanted to say how pleased I am to see so many woman suggesting mother's to be patient and wait for the baby to be ready. Not to try to force it out through "natural induction". There is nothing natural about using Castro oil or such. I understand how uncomfortable it can be but waiting it out vs potentially harming your child. I'm just happy to see people suggest the waiting it out. Thanks moms!

I read the entire thing the first time you suggested it. Thank you, but there were no real alternative treatments offered besides the band aids of corn starch and lidocaine spray. I'm looking for something a little more advanced. Maybe I am speaking to the wrong audience here.

lotsatrout...good idea...you ought to get a patent....lidocaine suit...i like that!!! ...My educated guess says it is not addictive!!!...and we know where my educated guesses have gotten me before!!!

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.

I get so confused here with who has what (sometimes I don't remember my own issues!) I've never tried it, but I have tried Voltaren gel, a prescription, which I thought did make a difference. It is very expensive. I also get a compounding gel from a special pharmacy (not a chain). They combine a bunch of things like lidocaine, ketamine and I don't know what else. That actually works pretty well. Any chance you could try either of those?
