Avatar n tn However, it is a medical emergency if seizures last longer than 5 minutes or if a person has many seizures and does not wake up between them. Seizures can have many causes, including medicines, high fevers, head injuries and certain diseases. Lidocaine can cause muscle twitching, convulsions, numbness of tongue or hypotension.

Avatar f tn Lidocaine is a numbing medication. It's what they use prior to the epidural injections to numb the area before injecting the steroid.

Avatar f tn I had a follow-up PM appointment today. I haven't seen her in a couple of months. We stopped my Cymbalta about a month ago and it made a HUGE difference in how I feel mentally and emotionally. Apparently that wasn't the drug for me, and it makes no difference in my pain, which was the point of going on it to begin with. I had a terrible fibromyalgia flare-up before Thanksgiving. The worst in a long time. To the point I had to crawl up the stairs and go down on my bum.
Avatar n tn He was hit by a car, and you took him to the vet. What injuries did the vet discover specifically? Did he give any medications for pain and inflammation?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn This is a question for your doctor or a pharmacist.
Avatar f tn I have made the mistake of NOT going to a doctor, NOT going to the emergency room (after a car accident/whiplash) and self diagnosing. Head injuries/concussion are brain Injuries. If you end up on disability, in an insurance claim, or in a lawsuit, you will need medical documentation. This could affect your ability to do or keep your job depending if memory and concentration are important for the safety of yourself/others.
Avatar f tn I saw an ENT today for sinus evaluation (unrelated), and he numbed both nostrils with lidocaine. I experienced almost immediate relief of my eye pain, although it's back now, 4 hours later. Does the fact that the lidocaine eliminated the pain have any implications for why my eye is still hurting? Thanks!
Avatar n tn When my husband was discharged from the ER they gave him a paper explaining about head concussion. So we assumed he had a head concussion. He did o.k. for two days and then started being confused and disoriented again. For the most part he seems fine, but today he had another episode of confussion/disorientation and dizziness. Are this symptoms normal? Thanks for any response.
Avatar f tn have some Lidoderm patches, which contain 5% Lidocaine, which I have for my fibaro and spine problems. I just got back from Reno, Nv, which was an 1143 mile round trip. The trip down was fine, but the trip back today was in rain, hail, wind and snow. Needless to say now in more pain than ever. I had a massage while there, concentrated on the head, neck and shoulders. Masseuse commented I had a major major amt of tight muscles and knots. (Gee, I already knew that!
Avatar f tn Can aspercreme with lidocaine be used on a burn caused by a flame if its not blistered
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn I was only diagnosed with ADD around 20 years ago...they never had a name for it when I was growing up...but my report cards show that as early as grade one, I had "issues" paying attention. The most severe concussion I had was when I was 12. The ones before that were minor. The one at 12 is the one that put me in a semi-comatose state for a week. After that I became angrier...snapped easier...became even more depressed.
Avatar m tn In the event the police come for you again, just greet them, ask them what you can you do for them and go along with them without resisting. If you know the cops are after you for whatever reason, go in of your own free will. Resisting arrest will get you nowhere, no matter what excuse you have or what your circumstances are. They just come down on you even harder making it much worse for you in the long run. Hope you get on OK. Best wishes.
Avatar m tn Keep in mind this is not a sharp stabbing pain, it consumes the whole back-left quarter of my head. I have never sought advice for this as it has been happening my whole life, and as a child I thought it was a normal thing. I had thought it stopped happening for a while, as it hadn't occurred all year, until last night. This was the worst one I have ever had, it took about a minute to completely fade away, and I couldn't do anything but sit down during.
Avatar m tn Then, in 1975, I had a lacerated scalp injury and blunt force trauma to the right side top of head. It was an open head wound. It required 8-10 stitches to close the wound. Within 6 months I started seizure like symptoms. I would suddenly stop breathing, my back would arch up-ward and I would row off the sofa onto the hardwood flooring gasping for breath. I was nervous and jittery the rest of the night. At first they came only once a month. Then, in 1977, I had another accident.
1285444 tn?1271772333 My scalp has been itching ever since August of 2009, after an accident I had in which my head hit the air bags at a great velosity. I have seen two Medical Doctors and two Dermotologist, and been given all sorts of antibotics, foams, shampoos and nothing has helped yet. There are very tiny red bumps in my scalp that itch continuously. What is the cure?
Avatar f tn Yesterday I did masturbate for each other with one guy in the bathroom of our gym club. He used a lot of soap to do masturbate for me and massage my penis' head. He just licked my balls and sometimes did use his finger to penetrate my anus. No Oral, no Anal sex at all. So am I at risk if he had injuries on his hand or something like that. I am worrying. Thank you so much.
Avatar f tn So I did my research and ended up purchasing a vaginal dilator set and asked my doctors to prescribe lidocaine which is a numbing cream that helps with feeling no pain down there at all! By using lube, lidocaine and my dilators for months I was finally able to have Intercourse for the the very first time.
Avatar m tn He sometimes cries when i touch him (maybe from trauma?) but his body has no injuries when i felt everywhere he was fine. Could he have brain damage or concussion?
Avatar n tn 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.
