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.
, which is undoubtedly a steroid, ask the physician to prescribe a .5% transdermal lidocaine patch. These are fairly new to the market. Cut this with a scissors and place a strip on the cervical area where there is degeneration. Don't keep it there for more than twelve hours.
It may or may not relieve the pain, but it's worth a try.
The shots will work, but only for a short time. There are no significant side effects to short periods of steroid therapy.
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I can understand your concern for these symptoms after the Juvederm injections.
Juvederm is basically an injectible filler used by cosmetic, dermatological, and plastic surgeons to soften deep folds and reduce wrinkles in the faces of patients. It consists of hyaluronic acid which is found normally in muscles, skin and tendons of mammals.
s important to notify your doc about it - depending on how high your fever is, they may ask you to remove the patch tmeporarily - for the same reason as avoiding other heat sources - too much medication can be released. When I was using the patch (I had to stop it due to negative side effects), one time I had a fever of 103.6 from strep throat and my doc had me remove the patch until my fever was below 100 (and use my BT meds during that time).
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.
There is a class of medications used for this but they have side effects but they are worth trying to see if you can tolerate. There is also a surgery where they can put a bit of teflon under the nerve to help.
Also try acupuncture and biofeedback and see if you have success. I do well with acupuncture.
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.
I was curious if anyone experiences really wretched side effects with Lyrica? I find it numbs my mind almost uncontrollably, and causes me to walk around in a fog for most of my day. Unfortunately, my doctor put me on a *very* low dose, because I was concerned about these very side effects. I was hoping someone could tell me whether or not these side effects actually went away, if the body eventually adjusted to them?
However recently I have noticed that the color of my blood (taken to test blood sugar) is a distinct chocolate-brown color similar to whenever I have had to use Nitro tabs/patches for angina attacks. I have also been affected by regular bouts of diarrhea. Are these side effects to be concerned about given the somewhat more beneficial effects and if so what could I do about them?
Appreciate your comments and those of anyone else affected.
I know what you mean about the firelike feeling of nerve pain. Unfortunately, there are no good medications on the market yet for this. That's why they have been prescribing off-label use of medications for Epilepsy like neurontin/gabapentin etc. etc. There doesn't seem to be any real good research on the use of this class of drugs for this nerve problem either. Some people do get some relief, but from what I know most patients can't tolerate the side effects of these drugs.
