lidoderm

Avatar m tn Hi, I'm prescribed a lidoderm 5% patch, which is basically a patch infused with lidocaine. It helps with the nerve/muscle type pain I have in the lower left leg facing outward. By itself, for bad pain it wouldn't be worth the money, but I'm prescribed Lortab 10/650's ( a narcotic ) and the two used together seem to help lower this pain better than either one treatment alone.
673999 tn?1226935279 Have your doctor write you a prescription for Lidocaine 2 % Gel ( called "Urojets")...this is a cartridge with topical Lidocaine that is injected directly into the urethra. Very commonly used by urologists as a local anesthestic both in the office and in the surgical setting, and I found it to be extremely helpful for IC. I couldn't have survived without it.
Avatar f tn I received my shipment today of ocean potion and rec. by another person on this site. I found it to provide instant relief of itching. It's temporary but still I would recommend it since it is so cheap. Much cheaper then Sarna. Huge bottles 20.5 oz each, like $3.50 a bottle. I got 2 shipped by wal mart since it's not available in Phoenix at wal mart or walgreens. Cost me $12 with tax and shipping. It's worth having in the arsenal, good for riba or incevik.
Avatar m tn try topical anelgesic cream it does wonders for mine, if that does not work ask your sdocto for somethin containg lidocaine
Avatar n tn Topical symptomatic treatments such as topical lidocaine or benzyl alcohol (Zilactin) may help relieve symptoms. Using an antiviral medication may shorten the duration of cold sores if started very early. If you experience very frequent bouts, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication as a cold sore treatment or to prevent cold sores.
Avatar f tn Are saying it's only been 3 weeks since your last period? You could still take a pregnancy test and it could give you an accurate result. Just use a First Response Early Response and make sure you take it with first morning urine. Even if it comes out negative right now, make sure to tell your dentist that you might be pregnant. If they aren't doing general anasthesia there shouldn't be a problem. Novacaine is ok during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn this could be due to irritation or something else. Regardless, I would consult with a doctor. Something like a topical ointment such as lidocaine (numbing) can help incredibly.
Avatar n tn I looked it up and it's a topical spray with an antimicrobial ingredient (benzethonium chloride) and a pain reliever (lidocaine). I don'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 f tn t know what your doctors will decide, but I would probably just deliver you by c section at 39 weeks and not risk ruptured membranes since you have had so much difficulty. Your immune system does become somewhat suppressed during pregnancy and that is possibly why you have had the increased number of outbreaks. I would also suggest that you ask your doctors for some topical lidocaine which can numb the lesions for awhile (it burns a bit at first). Hope this helps!

Avatar f tn 32 weeks and I swear I had tons of infections throughout my pregnancy. I'm a ftm so I'm not sure what to expect. Today, my belly itches so badly I want to take a fork n scratch it! No matter how much lotion I apply to it, never stops. I have crater stretch marks as it is:/ I was given flagyl for bv on monday. I've taken twice a day from monday to sunday. Pills r all gone and now I've been itchy down there today. Its so frustrating to me! If its not one thing then its another.
Avatar f tn Hello and welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question. This must be very frustrating. You've not found anything skin related? Neurological itch does happen. Here's an article that is very interesting on the subject. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3139924/ This article talks about neurological itch and that often, the place that is itching is not where the abnormality is that is causing the itch. They will need to determine where it is coming from.

Avatar n tn Many arthritis sufferers are in a panic over the shortage of Voltaren gel (diclofenac sodium gel) and I get why they are worried. Voltaren gel is a prescription topical anti-inflammatory gel used for all kinds of arthritis pain: rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and osteoarthritis of the knees, hands and hips. People who have stomach issues from taking anti-inflammatories by mouth can bypass that problem with Voltaren gel.

Avatar f tn Hi, 2 nights ago I was wiping after urinating & had such severe pain I jumped & trembled. I felt the area and on the inside of the labia majora I had a bright red nodule the size of a pea. I got a mirror & looked and lightly felt it. It was solid & movable under the skin but the pain was insane. It woke me up twice & I ended up putting the topical lidocaine for my chemo port just to get some rest. Well, this morning it hurt even worse, any movement & instant pain.
Avatar f tn t until about a month later after i had grieved that i researched it and i found out that lidocaine can cause organ failure in the foetus in early pregnancy!! i took this to the GDC and i received a letter saying that the dentist carried out correct procedure!
Avatar n tn ing this for kids, younger and younger all the time. There are several manufacturers that you can check out on the web and request information. You can also come here with specific questions you may have. I hope I have answered your questioned and helped you out in some way.
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 I have tried every topical cream (including triamcinalone) and benadryl and steroid creams, etc, to no avail. The only relief is ice. People say it is related to one of two (and in some cases both) things--1. the cervical spine as you mentioned, and 2-prolonged exposure to sunlight/prior sun damage. It's awful...I wish you luck in finding a solution, and will try my best to maintain some hope that we can all find some relief. Keep us posted if you have any luck!
Avatar f tn You could Try some lidocaine gel although I'm not sure it's OTC...I just dont remember...Look for an ointment that's topical and containing any kind of numbing agent. Try to leave it alone so a scab can form and that will help. Breathe through your mouth. Try to get an appt sooner. Go to an Urgent Care and they can prescribe a topical anesthetic. Take Motrin or Aleve. I can understand why you used the bactine; we will do anything when we're in pain...
Avatar f tn For my UTI doctor prescribe me amoxicillin and for my sore lidocaine viscous. On saturday night i noticed that i have a sore around vagina area. The sore is circle shaped red and looks it is fill with puss. Today i woke up i found 5 new sores. Are they herpes. Im freaking out . Other thing i havent eaten since friday my mouth and teeth hurt so bad + my lymph nodes are extremely swollen.
Avatar f tn Hello, Since you are pregnant, it is best to avoid any form of topical or oral antifungal treatment till delivery or atleast till the first trimester when organogenesis occurs. After that, treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines which should be used only under prescription. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Avatar n tn She would get little anal fissures so our family doctor wrote us a script for a compounded ointment but what really helped give her some relief was the Lidocaine topical gel our doctor prescribed for her. I put a small amount around her anus which created a numbing effect so that she would stop holding back when she had to go. I guess doctors use Lidocaine for numbing before different procedures and my doctor said it worked wonders for hemorrhoids, too.
