I just got back from the ER. My sciatica, lichen planus, rosacea, and interstitial cystitis all put my body on fire and pain. I believe the start was a lidocaine cream my dr tried to help with my pain. My rosacea started creeping down my body after my face turned beet red so in 2 days when I received a cortisone injection I warned the doctor/anesthesiologist that I might be allergic to lidocaine and he said no one’s allergic to lidocaine. An hour after the procedure when I got home the fun started. Rosacea, debilitating pain in my eyes around my head. Within hours all of my diseases were starting to go. I had overheard my dr tell another patient when I asked him about the lidocaine, he said don’t worry she just has a low pain threshold. Weird, at the ER today the dr said what do you expect me to do for you? No one’s allergic to lidocaine and ER’s and Urgent Care’s aren’t there to deal with pain. I’ll refer you to a neurologist and you can get dressed and leave whenever you’re comfortable. I was a free form boxer for years had my teeth knocked out and nose broken without even seeing a doctor or dentist. That pain isn’t bad. What do I do now? Please help. Having foolish thoughts.
