Because a lot of the symptoms can be similar to those of a fungal infection like Thrush or a bacterial infection, it is very important for you to see your doctor. Vulvar vestibulitis is a complex condition and it requires careful assessment by your doctor and for to be given the correct diagnosis to manage this condition.
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 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.
Hey!
I was recently diagnosed with HPV and genital warts. I've never had any syptoms of HPV before this. Once my Pap smear wasn't clean. I think that was about 8 years ago. But I've never actually been tested for HPV before and all of my other pap smears have been clean. I've always had pap smears every two years.
I have been with my husband for 10 years and I have been faithfull. I had vulvar vestibulitis for about 8 years during our relationship.
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.
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.
Get your blood pressure checked in both supine and sitting position. MRI cervical spine is diagnostic for cervical spondylosis. Vestibulitis can be managed by sedatives and anti histaminics.
What drugs are you taking for hypertension?
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.
Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that you should request to see a neurologist. You might have benign postural vertigo, or vestibulitis or Meniere's disease, or any of a number of other conditions that can cause dizziness/vertigo. There are medications that can help with the symptoms.
Ask for a consultation with a neurology specialist.
Good luck!
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..
I have now had burning and soreness of the vulva and vaginal area for over six months, and I was tested for everything you could imagine as well as herpes. After every test came back negative, I was finally diagnosed with Vulvodynia and Vulvar Vestibulitis. Please look both of these conditions up, as just because you have previously had a diagnosis of herpes, it does not mean that your symptoms are due to it.
I went to dermatalogist for a yearly check-up and asked about a recurring sore just inside my nostril. I do have rosacea. She thought it was a clogged pore but when she and the nurse took a look with a pen light, they noticed a bright red rash inside my nose. They referred me to an ENT doctor. I do not have symptoms of pain, itching other than the recurring sore. When I showed the sore to my GP a couple of years ago, he told me it looked like a skin tag and he said he would freeze it off.
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.
