lidoderm
No I have implanted pacemaker/defibrillator. Recently i developed severe back pain and can barely walk. 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.

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.
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.
When in doubt, ask your doctor!
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.
I too used to get pain in buttocks & back when I used to sit on bed and for long time
Few helpful things for you.
1) While sleeping at night sleep side ways which gives relief
2) Keep a pillow support to your back for 20 mins so that your buttock will not rest on the bed while sleeping, so it gets no pressure.
3) Use cushion pillows under your buttocks while sitting which are of pure soft cotton, change it very frequently so that it will not become hot due to movement.
I have a lot of other areas of chronic pain....but not my shoulder and T zones in my back anymore. I attribute that to several things:
Chiropratic adjustments.....
Deep tissue massage....
Specific exercises to loosen the shoulders and neck....like shoulder rolls...forward and backwards.. cross stretching with my arms..and there are many more you can find online or thru your Physical Therapist, Massage Therapist, or Chiropractor.
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.
Just a little over two weeks ago I acquired low back pain radiating into one leg from what is believed to be (by me, my MD, and my DC) compression of disks. No traumatic injury, just prolonged standing on a hard surface doing volunteer service to people in a dinner line for 5.5 hrs. I have completed a 10-day course of prednisone. My MD prescribed 2-3 Lortab for pain. My DC has made adjustments and given me a therapeutic exercise for the low back.
I had been diagnosed with a small herniated disc in my lower back. Lumbar l-5. I have been dealing with back pain since April 2015. I've already been treated by a chiropractor for 8 weeks with no relief. I then Was referred to a pain management doctor and had a total of three epidurals and still no relief. My pain is so bad that I can't stand for more then 5 minutes at a time and have pain all around my back and pelvic area, And all the way down my legs.
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.
He also prescribed Lidocaine pain patches to help manage the leg pain, which is particularly difficult if I sit or ride for a long period. I generally used these 1-3 times a week. This made my back/leg pain tolerable, but it never goes away. Other meds were Lexapro for anxiety, which, according to my doctor added to tension and leg pain. I have never had a "high" and do not understand or know what that is.
