medical favor needed please.

Long story short my roommate/girlfriend had a cyst on her back removed and has to have the packing in the wound replaced every 2 days. She is in the middle of a job transition and her health insurance lapsed on the 31st of this month. At 130 bucks a pop we can not afford to go every 2 days The doctor is fine with us replacing the packing as long as she comes in for a check up once a week. They gave us the packing, gauze and syringes to wash etc. The only thing they can not give us is a lidocaine to numb it up.

Does any body have any lidocaine or know where i can purchase some?

I grew up on a ranch and have doctored horse pigs cows so i know i can do it just want her to be comfortable while i am shoving the packing in.


Thank you in advance

Clove oill will do the trick. OR turn one of those compressed air in a cans upside down, spray on area. She should be numb for 5-10 minutes tops.
You might also consider some pain meds about 30-60 min prior to working on it.

Whiskey.

You can't buy injectable lidocaine unless you're in the medical field. You can get the powdered stuff online and mix your own, however, it is very dangerous because too much or in the wrong place can disrupt heart function.

burn cream is part lidocaine. very close to the injectable concentration. however its topical only.

You know that much about this, yet you can't drive a damn four wheeler next to a fence without running through it!



That was for my four wheeler!!

Still haven't rolled it like you did. Twice


OP, you may look up how Ambesol does internally. Seems like it would work, but I don't know for sure.

This is a GUN forum right ?

So do like in the movies...

Give her a slug of whiskey and a bullet to bite on

And just dump gunpowder into the wound and light it.

Don't know if you need lidocane specifically but orajel has benzocaine in it. Might work.

Compressed air in a can , upside down is a BAD idea. Can cause instant frostbite and you will have a real big problem on your hands.
