lidocaine nerve block

Hi, six months after my left-side thoracotomy I was yesterday told by my surgeon (USA) that I need to get Lidocaine intercostal nerve-block injections for a persistent pain issue I'm having. Here in my country, Cyprus, though, it's impossible to find someone who has experience in injecting Lidocaine on the thorax. So, my second option is UK, but still I would need to find someone specialized on this type of nerve-block. Any recommendations?

At night after lumbar paravertebral nerve block injection, the lower back skin burning sensation, numbness of the right groin hip hip the next day and radiation to the lower limbs, a heavy sense of her left leg, 5 days double legs pain to the heel, the activity increased after skin hypoesthesia. 8 days later, the abdominal perineal these symptoms, abdominal muscle spasms. The cumulative post double ribs to the armpits. During this period, the persistent symptoms repeats.

Hello Dear, Lidocaine blocks conduction of nerve impulses by decreasing neuronal membrane's permeability of sodium ions, which results in inhibition of depolarization and blockade of conduction. Intranasal administration of lidocaine drops requires specific and, for many patients, difficult technique. The dose is 4%solution intranasally.

proposed celiac plexus nerve block using X-ray and lidocaine only for pancreatic cancer pain and to reduce pain killer dependence.. I see alcohol or phenol most often mentioned for this. Anyone know if lidocaine only successful?

I have seen 13 doctors for extreme vulvodynia (specifically clitoridynia) which is getting worse by the day and have had no relief from every medication imaginable (Elavil, Neurontin,Lyrica, opiods, compounded meds, lidocaine). I need a non-medication approach like nerve block, but every neurologist I've contacted does not treat this disorder. HELP!!

As stated big lymph node removed, and of course the area on my neck going up to the jawline was numb to the touch. No nerve block but lidocaine used. Now it’s been 38 hours and it’s still dead numb to the touch. Haven’t even used my pain medication. I can tell it’s swollen though as well I swallow/chew I feel a tight clenching there that makes it a bit difficult.

For treatments beyond medications I have tried a C3 nerve block (cortizone and lidocaine) that had no effects whatsoever. I then tried an occipital nerve block using cortizone and lidocaine again. Magically, it worked! This not only diagnosed where the pain is coming from, but it helped numb it. Unfortunately it only worked for about 4 days, which my doctor said meant the steroid was not working.

Anyway, looks like I had an Occipital Nerve Block, in 3 locations. Although neuro told me this can also take care of the trigeminal nerve pain ,as well the other 3 cranial nerves that are affected. (Hopefully anyway, no guarantees, but so far this has been the best pain relief I have had for years.) At this point though, it looks like I have yet another 2 cranial nerves that are taking a beating as well. (Hence the double vision and my decreased hearing in my R ear as well.

m wishing they could do a trigeminal ganglion block, as I have had limited success with the upper branch nerve block, but unless someone can inject lidocaine into my face multiple times a day, there's no relief...which makes me wish for a TN treatment beyond the meds I have already been on.

I've suffered from headaches for years. I believed them to be sinus related and had two surgeries to correct a deviated septum and balloon my sinuses. After each surgery, I noticed worsening burning nasal pain and dental pain that would come and go with changes in temperature or humidity. The ENTs I saw assured me I would feel better but I never did. After seeing an endodontist for the dental pain I narrowed it down to nerve pain, some variation of Charlin's Sydrome or nasal neuralgia.

s going on. My back and legs started hurting again and PM Dr. tested me for a nerve block. It worked on me so he will do it the 8th of Dec. I had 4 days of NO PAIN. It should last 18 months , then they can do it again! Maybe it could help a lot of other people on here. I was getting scared I was going to have too get back on the pills again, I also got a script for a antidepressant. It's helping too. I'm not bragging just want to pass along the good news and maybe help someone else.

I had a L5 nerve block last Thursday to try to reduce pain, thigh muscle weakness and constant pins and needles in my foot. The first day it seemed like it had worked, but then my ankle started hurting something fierce. I thought maybe I had twisted it during the hours I was numb after the injection, but its coming and going and all of a sudden worse today. I tried massaging the area and I discovered it made my foot tingle more so now I'm thinking its a complication of the nerve block.

The Dr wants to do a sacral nerve block (believing this pain to be associated with the vasectomy trauma). I know that HSV-2 resides in the sacral nerve ganglia. My question is will this nerve block create huge issues? I have read some horror stories of people who have lower back surgeries and it throws the virus into overdrive...

Does anyone happen to know what a person would experience if they had a nerve block shot partially or totally injected into their femoral artery? I have been dealing with life changing health problems since going through an ACL reconstruction, and after seeing more than 30 doctors over the last year I am still getting no where. I have a bunch of clots, I have muscle tissue dying, nerve damage, swollen nodes, kidney stones developed, 24 hour pain and many other things.

My husband had a nerve block for numb arms and neck and upper back pain. It seemed to help him for a short time. His pain soon returned. As it turns out, he had High Blood Pressure and as soon as he started taking the appropriate High Blood Pressure medication his numb arms went away and so did the neck pain and upper back pain Before we knew it was High blood pressure that was causing his problems, I had a Nerve Block for my Neck problems hoping it would take away my pain too.

I had two nerve blocks (May and June), and one epidural (they were afraid to give me another nerve block because I bruised so bad after the second one). My first nerve block worked for a weekend, and the second nerve block worked for about 2 weeks, and the epidural didn't do anything for me. In fact, I felt worse after the epidural. I ended up doing physical therapy from May 2007 to Jan 2008, when I found a surgeon who cared about me and performed a lumbar fusion L4-S1.

Due to undiagnosed right upper quadrant pain I have had two right celiac plexus nerve block injection. after the first injection i was pain free but it only lasted for a week and a have. A couple of days ago I had a second injection, and same as the first one the pain was completly gone after the injection, but now I'm experiencing left upper quadrant pain. Does anyone knows if this could be cause by the injection or if it could be unrelated to the nerve block injection? thanks.

Have you tried gabapentin or pregabalin? Or a tricylic antidepressent? Or a nerve block (I have had two with gaunethidiene)? Or lidocaine patches?

I am scheduled for a thoracic facet block for next Friday. Are steriods used for this procedure? And if they are, can they substitute the steriod with a non- steriod medication? I had an epidural Sept. 2007 and I gained weight and It didn't work, I am not even sure I will go through with procedure now.

What could you recommend to use for nerve pain other than Lidocaine patches. I have been using the patches with wonderful relief for 2 years and now Aetna says they will only cover them for post hepatice neuralgia. They even denied my doctor's appeal. Two years ago I had laminectomies of L2,L3,L4,L5,S1 after many ESIs and SJIs. I also have my sciatic nerve running through my piraformis muscle. The surgery got rid of most of my back and sciatic pain and I no longer use a walker or wheelchair.
