Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar f tn Is anyone out there using lidoderm patches for back and/or neck pain? My neurosurgeon just prescribed them for me--they're a topical anesthetic patch. I tried one, it seemed to help briefly. I've been taking Lyrica for about a month, trying to taper off hydrocodone (after 7 months of steady use), and wondering why I have not seen these lidoderm patches mentioned by anyone in any of the back pain boards I've looked at. Looking for input on this. Thanks.
Avatar f tn t heard anyone say they tried Lidoderm patches-they work well for any part of your body you are in pain, and you can cut the patches into smaller ones if you want. They are only made up of lidocaine (numbing) for surface pain, muscle pain, any pain. You wear up to 3 for no more that 12hrs and then take a 12hr break. Only one bad thing is they don't stick well, I have to use heavy duty med tape, but they are worth it. Plus, they are 235.
563571 tn?1232491190 Do any or many of you use Lidoderm patches for pain? I used them some before getting Trimadol and still think about using them along with the Trimadol, but have some concerns. For several days I used them on hip, leg and knee (by instructions for number of patches and length of time) and did get some relief; however, my calf is swollen and very, very numb to the touch, but also burning badly.
934553 tn?1275274379 Hi, a lot of people benefit from the Lidoderm patches. I hope it helps. I completely understand about life consisting only of work and sleep. That doesn't make much of a life. That exquisite sensitivity to light touch is called allodynia. Often a firm touch is tolerable, but the light brushing of clothes or a light touch from another person is unbearable. Seems backward, but it is common. Another addition that can help the Cymbalta is a low-dose of amiltrityline at night.
Avatar f tn Does anyone have experience with Lidoderm Pain Patches? I use three per 12 hour period along with oxycodone, tramadol, neurontin and flexeril for pain. All the talk about Fentanyl has me concerned. BTW I am so thankful for this forum, whether or not one posts one can gain so much valuable information without fear of judgement. Kudos to sandee for keeping it going and thanx to everyone for straight up honesty in your replies to questions.
1182304 tn?1349305951 Just wondering if many on here have tried the Lidoderm patch? I have actually found it to help take off the sharp edges of pain in my back. I guess some insurances per my doc are kinda against it for anything other then for shingle pain, but my insurance did approve it for my chronic back pain.
Avatar n tn Noven Pharmaceuticals wants to come out with one as well, but their being tied up by Endo and a bunch of FDA nonsense. This is a more recent article about Watson: http://www.empr.
Avatar f tn Lidoderm Patches (Rx Only or doctor sample) work better for me and 5% Lidocaine Cream (you can find online) is awesome! Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn It has been 20 days (may 10 the day I got the tattoo) and it still hasnt heal. It started with my tattoo looked like it was coming off then it did but the ink was still in my skin so I still had the tattoo now I thought it was all healed but the next day I noticed growing bumps around my tattoo which I ignored and kept washing my tattoo two-theee times a day with anti bacterial soap then it got worse where my tattoo was just skinless??
7417215 tn?1403487102 I dont think you should most tattoo artist won't even tattoo pregnant women. It could be dangerous for your baby.
Avatar f tn No. any respectable tattoo shop will not tattoo a pregnant woman. You should be asked to fill out a waiver and they ask if you are pregnant.
Avatar f tn While there is no evidence it harms the baby, the tattoo artist may refuse to tattoo someone if they are pregnant. They have also not done human studies with tattoos on pregnant women.
Avatar f tn I spoke to a tattoo artist and dermatologist and because my skin is fine and the tattoo is completely healed that the pressure is not causes by the tattoo its just happened to be in the same area. Does this sound correct? Am I just experiencing back pain or is there something else I should be looking into thanks!
Avatar f tn You won't find any tattoo parlor that will tattoo you while pregnant.
Avatar f tn t get a tattoo if your nursing. You have to be completely done nursing for a tattoo artist to tattoo you.
7870205 tn?1394930625 Well, they put an iv in my arm, right inside my tattoo (that's filled in) so Idk. I guess it just depends on the needle?
Avatar f tn D Ointment on the tattoo for two days after I got it upon advice from the tattoo artist, but I have not used any topical creams since then. Basically, I am wondering if I should drive the 2 hours it would take me to see a dermatologist or if I should just let the rash spread and wait for it to clear up? I am also wondering about how long that would take (just so I don't keep worrying about it!) And of course I'd love to know what caused it in the first place (allergy to the ink?
Avatar f tn t get tattoo removal either....I thinjk tattoo removal is even worse than getting the tattoo itself!
Avatar f tn Is it safe to get a tattoo while you're pregnant? I thought about going for one when I got my taxes back, but wasn't sure if it was safe. I'm not wanting one around my stomach, but on my thigh.
Avatar f tn can you still get a tattoo as long as it ain't near the stomach ? a tattoo person said you could but who has done it ?
Avatar f tn Some tattoo places wouldnt do it, and you best asking your midwife or waiting until after babys born which would be best
Avatar f tn As a tattoo artist I can tell you that no shop will tattoo a pregnant woman because its too risky, but dying your hair is fine as long as you do it in a well ventilated area :)
Avatar f tn t do an epidural through the tattoo. Has anyone else heard this or has anyone with a back tattoo been denied. I want a epidural. I am going to ask my Dr. But wanted to hear personal experiences first.
