welcome to bluelight!

i don't know anything about administering local (don't think many recreational drug users will), but do not IV it. i believe IVing most local anesthetics is quite dangerous.

also bumping your thread with "asap" and all that will not get you more responses. it is strongly discouraged.
 
Lidocaine IV is an anti-arrythmic agent. Do not do it IV. Even IM injection is tricky.

Use it topically in 2 to 5% concentration. That's the best option.
 
Lidocaine shouldnt be ived. Its a topical solution. What kind of pain pills did your doctor give you thats not working?
 
As Sekio said, it's far too risky to inject. Make a solution and apply it topically. Lidoderm patches utilize this approach so you may get some good info looking in to how these patches work.

I'm sorry you're in so much pain.
 
^This is dumb advice. Even if your lidocaine is sterile and made for injection, its still to risky to go prodding around your finger with a needle untrained. There are all sorts of nerves and sensitive areas in the thumb and its just not a good idea altogether unless you're properly trained.

I have 30 Lidoderm Lidocaine patches that my doctor gave me along with my meds for scoliosis & I would have to say that the patches dont do shit for my pain. I told him that & he just scratches his head like he cant believe it doesnt work for my pain. I use Icy Hot patches on my back & they work great, no comparison.
 
^ I've heard some people say that they are miraculous and others say they don't do anything - I think a lot of it has to do with what type of pain is involved and where the pain is located.

I have nerve pain in my leg and back and they were amazing for me. Opioids always helped SOME but they just don't fully do it for nerve pain and the lidocaine patches made a huge difference for me, especially with hyperesthesia and dysesthesias.

Yes, you're right, to some they help alot but with different pains. With my pain, Lidocaine doesnt do anything but pain meds help alot, depending what they are.
 
IVing Lidocaine is not good.. at all... Into a wound by a dr is good for analgesia. I have had Lidocaine epidural nerve blocks from my pain mgt dr. They do it as a diagnostic test.... Personally I wouldn't fuck with it. I do have lidocaine gel and patches for my back....
 
Just dab a bit on the painful areas with a sterile Q-tip. Lidocaine should be a strong enough local anestetic to be used this way, but not strong enough to cause significant problems if some is leaked into the blood stream in very small amounts which is particularly unavoidable. Don't just go poking yourself trying to numb up the area.

Another thing is since you don't have a slow release patch, you are not going to have anymore than 10-15 minutes of pain relief at a time from application to application. Meaning this is close to pointless if you have a life to live.

I highly recommend you go back to the doctor...
