Experiences with

Lidocaine

Does anyone have experience of this treatment? It seems to be aimed at fibromyalgia.

I have read that Lidocaine patches really help but are no longer available on the NHS according to my GP as they are very expensive. Does anyone have any experience of the following: Getting a private prescription and if so, how much the patches cost?

Hi all hope your all coping as well as can be.Just wondering if any of you have had a lidocaine infussion. I've been offered it while waiting for a place on a pain clinic course. Not sure if to take up the offer possable side effects seem quite frightening. Thanks

I wanted to see if there is an interaction of procaine-novocaine with my drug Jakavi (Ruxolitinib), only one site drugbank. com says that the risk or severity of methemoglobinemia may increase when combining ruxolitinib with procaine (the same is written about lidocaine, prilocaine, ultracaine).

Hi all, I've had fibromyalgia for 7 years, but after a number of months of new burning, sore pain down below, ive been diagnosed with vulvodynia 😒 Apparently it's quite common for folks with fibro 🙄 I've increased my amitryptaline to 60mg, and use lidocaine 5% ointment, hrt cream and usual self care

I’m happy about this but wanted to know people’s experience of Pregabalin - does it work well for you 🤞🏻 I’m also on 50mg Amitriptyline and wear Lidocaine patches in the day along with wireless TENS. Need all of this to be able to work full time. Thank you 😊🙏🏻

Eating only soft foods and lidocaine mouthwash to help. My eye dryness is good on some days. Still using prescription drops. I’m still loosing hair. All this with no pain is a Catch 22. Still fatigue but sleeping better.

A doctor is recommending I try a lidocaine patch for diagnostic reasons. Does anyone have experience with it or know if it is contraindicated for afib? It is apparently a sodium channel blocker. It is sold over the counter as IcyHot etc. Thank you so much!

I now have a lidocaine patch on , I am going for my own micro dose two Panadol extra dissolving in a glass for my case it helps . I am sure pain is linked to FND, or certainly makes it worse, what do you all think.Regards David x

I know the lidocaine types need to be controlled to stop them travelling around the body (adreniline used I believe - when at dentist) I will raise this with my consultant at my next appt but I am worried that any treatment needing a local will be prevented....?

I have been proscribed an L-Arginine gel to treat this issue and and Prilocaine gel for my sensitivity. I recently tried wearing an underwear and it went just fine. But there is a new issue with that, thanks to the secretions my glan opening (or is it meatus?)

I have lidocaine patches, cocodamol and amitriptyline for my condition. I have an appointment booked for next week with the GP and currently waiting for a nerve block injection as I'm under pain management. My question is, has anybody had similar to what I am experiencing and what is the cause?

Saw the Consultant today who proposed Lidocaine Patches! Unfortunately he then went on to say that the funding for this medication has been stopped! Does anyone have any experience of this treatment as to whether it’s effective or not.

Then we had 2 goes at getting a sample, which meant I had a full dose of lidocaine (they used 2 sites)so when I eventually got up my right leg barely held up .The S1 nerve damage is well and truly irritated.I'm assuming it's from the position I was in .luckily the next doc managed to get the samples,

The first med -- the one swabbed one -- was lidocaine. The second med -- the injected one -- was a mixture of epinephrine and articaine. I was informed by a person at the dental outfit that epinephrine is literally the same thing as adrenaline.

It's like lidocaine but. Particular to E45. You have to search them to get the right one. I thought was being helpful🙁😭😢😢😢I Feel stupid when brain fog hits me. It's a mild anaesthetic and lasts 8 hours.. I hope this is helpful sweetie 🙂 Hugs Dawn 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤔

Oh, and I use Aspercreme with lidocaine. I don't use it much, mostly because I don't remember it. Hubby has told me to make a To-Do list for when I'm in pain, and different lists for different kinds of pain... because I keep forgetting what to do, due to cog fog.

Need prescription lidocaine to pass water as the pain has been immense for over 10+ years. My pain gets so bad & fatigue levels are terrible 😞 Any help or ideas please

Tried lidocaine but not helping at all.any one ever deal with this? Any suggestions??

The shot is a combination of lidocaine and a steroid. The lidocaine will numb for around 6 hours, but the steroid can take a few days to work. My concern is--- after the the numbing wears off, will my shingles pain be worse? I have not slept all night worrying and in pain from these shingles.
