I have lived with muscle pain for 40 yrs. and fibromyalgia 20. I have degenerative disc disease and most of my cervical and lumbar discs are in the past. There have been times when I have been able to keep the fibro in abeyance, but when my muscles go into massive spasms, I have been having fibro with headaches that causes me to have floaties in my vision and feels like my head is in a vise. I would like to know more about the lidocaine infusion. I've everything over and over again.
I also have fibromyalgia in addition to spine problems. I will be taken off of all anti inflammatories and steroids for a minimum of six months to promote healing and good fusion. If I take narcotic pain relievers, I find that it will trigger a migraine within a week. My current meds are Bystolic, Motrin ( will be discontinued), Zanaflex, Halcion, Benadryl, and Compazine. I also take supplements that include a multivitamin, Olive Leaf, Vitamin D3, Omega 3 Fish Oil.

t felt this close to normal in years, i still have flares, but not nearly as bad as they were. Google LDN for Fibromyalgia, you will find a Stanford University study, and other great info. Check it out, it is worth it. also you need to get it from a compounding pharmacy because as of now it is only made in 50mg capsules, the max dose for Fibro patients is 4.5 mg.
I am in terrible, constant, all over body pain and also have an all over burning sensation since an MVA over one year ago. I've tried Cymbalta, Sevella, Neurontin, Vicodin, Tramadol, Darvocet N 100, Nucynta, and Percocet. I've also tried anti depressants, Ativan, and Valium in conjunction with the pain meds. I've had steroid injections in my spine and also tried Lidocaine patches. Does anyone have experience with a pain med that works for this type of chronic pain?
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.
I recently have diagnosed with MS, chronic Fibromyalgia, myalgia, and Chronic severe Migraines. I am going to a pain management clinic. I get injections of Lidocaine steroids. So far I find they are not working and end up in more pain. then I should be. I've been told that I will be on some pain medication and steroids for the rest of my life unless I go into remission.. I'm take all kinds of vitamins as well.
My Brother has been diagnosed with MS and my mother with fibromyalgia. Unsure if there is a connection.
I am terrified of needles too and I FELT NOTHING.. They used Buffered Lidocaine injection which I did not feel any of.. I must admit, I did put over the counter Lidocaine cream all over my breast about an hour before the procedure. I used this Lidocaine cream on my arm before a tetanus shot that I had to get and was so afraid of and I was screaming for the nurse to WAIT but.. IT WAS ALREADY DONE! Helps a lot so you don't feel pain.
Nurse also gave me tips for next time I get an injection.
Hello, My sister needs extensive dental work i.e. root canals and fillings and crowns. She is a heart patient and we are wondering if Lidocaine, EPI, or any of the 'caines' are safe for dental work in heart patients? We do not want to start an arrythmia attack. Any safe meds? Thanks much.
Not to my knowledge, there is nothing that can cause a positive cocaine result.
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.
Arm EMGs, spine MRIs, brain MRI, labs have all been normal except for B12 being 1,271 after being B12 deficient for years. I have not been able to sleep more than a couple hours with poor sleep quality because of pain for 6 months now. I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension in September 2014 after being sick for 3 years. Thinking that it might take years again to diagnose this pain/weakness condition depresses and aggravates me.
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..
