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?
Your childs seizure was almost definitely caused by the Lidocaine. Local anesthetics can cause seizures and is based on the total dose. Even a small dose of local anesthetic injected directly into an artery takes the local anesthetic directly to the brain and induces a seizure. It is specifically for that reason that there are limits to the total amount of local anesthetic used at a time.
Hi, I recently had carpal tunnel surgery and the doctor used local freezing on my wrist. He wasn't wearing gloves and didn't use an alcohol wipe before he injected the freezing into my hand. If he had dry blood on his fingers and felt my wrist where the puncture site was on my skin, could he push bacteria like a blood borne pathogen, HIV, HEP C into my bloodstream? he then scrubbed up after when he started to perform the surgery.
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 am having a vasectomy and can I place a lidocaine patch on the area pre procedure to numb the pain?
s because of a very bad reaction to a skin test involving Lidocaine and Mepricaine both WITHOUT Ephinepherine( I'm not sure of the spelling?)
In the skin test I was given small doses of the local anaesthetics mentioned above and halfway through the test my heart started to have P.A.C.S.so they stopped with the Lido caine and continued with the other one until a full dose was injected under the skin of the inside of my forearm.
That's a hard one to answer Connie .... some women have only slight discomfort and I have heard others who complain of quite a bit of pain. I think it depends on YOU but most don't find it a problem. If you do experience any pain don't hesitate to let the Technician and Radiologist know it ... a local anesthesia is used and you are the only one who will know if it's sufficient. good Luck with your biopsy; THINK BENIGN !!!
Well The abscess under my armpit has gotten bigger more painful antibiotics not doing a thing even from the hospital tht thy prescribed me. thy said I can't have general anaesthetic as it will send me into early labour as I'm only 17 weeks well 18 weeks tommorow. so gota av a local an I'm not looking fwad to it at all.
I am a 25 year old female and I had a seizure while having dental work done about 3 weeks ago. I had been given lidocaine and nitrous oxide. Following the appointment, I went to a neurologist and had a CT scan and an MRI done. Both showed no brain abnormalities. I had eclampsia 4 years ago and had seizures which resulted in the early delivery of my child. Aside from my seizures 4 years ago, I had no previous history of seizure disorder.
this situation can be dealt with by local anesthesia like lidocaine. since it is (the procedure) not time consuming and the area is readily accessible.
Nitrous oxide could be used if you are anxious about the procedure, it is to deal with your anxiety, nothing more.
I don't recommend General anesthesia, since the case is not inquiring.
If I were you, I would go for local anesthesia alone. but as I said, if you are afraid of doing it, you may choose nitrous oxide.
Also, I’ve been prescribed Gabapentin by a normal doctor but I’m only on 600mg a day so worry that’s not enough to have any effect. Final query, do any of you think a local anaesthetic cream could help eg lidocaine or benzocaine.
There is absolutely, 100% NO WAY the Lidocaine effect lasted 3 weeks. Zero. Zilch. Nada, as they say. Lidocaine is very short acting...and would be completely out of your system within hours, not weeks. Whether or not it triggered the initial round of PVC's, I can't say, but it DEFINATELY did not make them last 3 weeks. I doubt you will believe me.
PVC's are a very common and annoying problem...seems just about anything and everything can set them off, including anxiety.
Mayo clinic diagnosed me last winter with bracioradial pruritis and wanted to start me on either neurontin or one of two other drugs. My local doctor was wary of all the side effects and wanted to try a neurontin cream compounded with doxipen and lidocaine. This combo seems to help some days but other days it makes the itch so much worse. Has anyone else tried these compounded creams? What strength and what were the medications involved?
Surgical debridement, which entails lancing and flushing the cavity with saline, often under a local lidocaine anaesthetic, is the treatment of choice, followed by a broad spectrum antibiotic, or ideally, an antibiotic that has been selected based upon a culture of the bacteria. The lancing and flushing are relatively painless, and usually necessary.
Also I am prescribed lidocaine patches. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic. I apply the patches to the affected area, they can be left on for up to 12 hours then you have 12 hours off. They work pretty well too particularly when it come to wearing shoes.
That all that has been suggested to try by my pain Dr.
I hope it helps.
