Common Questions and Answers about Lidocaine patch alternative
lidoderm
I got prescribed Norco, lidocaine patches, and diclofenac 75 mg. Yesterday I took Norco and I put a lidocaine patch and I woke up with weird heart sensation, like slow heart rate or something. Could it be caused by lidocaine patch? I also take the following medication:
Atorvastatin Calcium 80 Mg- 1 tab in the evening
Carvedilol 6.
If he is talking about a Fentanyl patch, don't do it. Fentanyl is a bear to come off of. If he is talking about the Lidocaine patch, it may help you. It didn't for me but it is surely worth a try.
Acupuncture is a good suggestion. I did that many years ago and it provided a great deal of relief. The other thing that helped a lot for me was Aqua Therapy. It is non-resistant and it is the warm water that helps relieve the pain.
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Allergy to amide anesthetics such as lidocaine is rare, and when it does occur, it is usually caused by the preservative methylparaben. This can be overcome by using preservative-free lidocaine. In case of true allergy another class of anesthetics, the esters like benzocaine can be tried. Discuss all the options with your doctor before consenting for surgery.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Has anyone ever used a pain patch for their TMJ pain? 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.
would this patch work for me i have had 2 fusions, one in my lower back and one in my neck i also had a lamanectomy also i just recently had sugery on my stomach twice, I have been on hydrocone 10/325 4 times a day and sometimes that is not enough, I am on full disablity and im really tired of taking pain pills, Im in pain 100% of the time, low and middle and neck of my spine, I have spinal stenosis, disk degeneration disease Im looking for a patch that will help me
No I am not trying to force my religious beliefs on anyone but mentioning the closeness that I feel here but not always at church. Again, any information on the Lidoderm Patch? Love Peace and Blessings...
m prescribed a lidoderm 5% patch, which is basically a patch infused with lidocaine. It helps with the nerve/muscle type pain I have in the lower left leg facing outward. By itself, for bad pain it wouldn't be worth the money, but I'm prescribed Lortab 10/650's ( a narcotic ) and the two used together seem to help lower this pain better than either one treatment alone.
What is a good resource to explore alternative pain management methods to narcotics?
I am prescribed 40mg of oxycodone (just the oxy, no tylenol component) daily, from the VA. I have taken this dose for about 10 years. I'm relatively responsible about it - I take only what I need to take the edge off pain, I never take it for pleasure, and I have built up a few months' stockpile of it by taking less than my prescribed dose.
He lives a few hundred miles from me but was in to see us yesterday when he mentioned that he takes a pill once/day instead of wearing the nitro-patch. They had him on the patch at first but he was allergic to it and his Cardiologist had to make the change. My friend is happy with the change.
I have a bit of a problem with the patch. The skin gets red and a bit sore where I wear the patch and sometimes I think I might run out of places to apply the patch.
Everyone keeps telling me this is normal due to an increased volume at the injection site which is causing inflammation around the nerve. But, I have been on NSAIDs for 5 days and wearing a lidocaine patch on the injection site with no relief. Please help. I am terrified this is permanent. I just feel like no one is listening to how serious this could potentially be.
Today is 11/28/2012. Newspaper articles stated that generic Lidocaine patches would be available this date. Who is manufacturing these and where can I buy them?
Can a prescribed Lidoderm/ Lidocaine Patch 5% give u a pain pill buzz? Ive watched some of my friends go thru bad DTs and eat patches that were suppose to only be applied. I get Lidoderm Patches and have been keeping it a secret just incase. I don't wanna get robbed cuz they really help with my pain. I need to know if one of them ever find my patch and eat it or use it... will they get any kind of buzz from it?
The etiology suggest compression of nerves in the lumbar region, however it could be a developing pressure sore. If it involves pinched nerves in the lumbar area the lidocaine patch can be placed directly on the spinal area where the nerve is compressed. If the problem is a developing pressure sore the patch can be on the inflammed area.
Im 25 weeks and 5days I have bad back pain my mom has some lidocaine patches 5% so i was wondering does anybody know if its safe cuz my back really hurts . i would call my doc but its already 7pm and the office is closed . so this is the next best thing....
I recently got off 60 mgs of morphine sulfate and 100mgi fentanyl patch I changed every 48 hours. I have been clean, as they say for 8 weeks as of tomorrow. Even at these high doses (I couldn't have anymore-I was maxed to the morphine level I could have) I still had severe pain every other day. Timed exactly with the 2nd day on the fentanyl patch.
Since being of the morphine and fentanyl, my pain is at constant state of intolerable to severe.
t know if your doctor would approve but there is a patch called a Lidoderm patch that was created by a doctor for his wife who was suffering from shingles. It is not a narcotic, just a lidocaine patch.
It works really well for pain in a specific area, they can even be cut and placed on various spots. I have one on my shoulder right now and it is helping with the pain.
so still seeking alternatives. Someone mentioned lidocaine/lidoderm patches. Any experience/ advice or other suggestions for these or other alternatives????
Other info: The muscle relaxers probably help, but I don't like to take them. They make me too sleepy and I know they can be addictive (though I seriously don't like them). I've been using a heating pad every night for a week and it hasn't helped. Salon-Pas patches help....some. The anti-inflamatory pill helps...some....
After this diagnois is confirmed you need to go to a physical rehab specialist who will, for starters, teach you some exercises that will relieve the pressure. A electrical tens device will sometimes relieve the pain, as well as a transdermal 5% Lidocaine patch, to be used for no more than 12 hours at a time.
Eventually you may require a procedure known as a laminectomy.
Keep well hydrated, avoid riding in a bouncy vehicle, resolve to always lift properly, and hopefully it will get better.
) the patches are prescription only so maybe ask your doctor about them or try over the counter ones like icy hot maybe. Hope these work for you. Goodluck.
