Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Carol, I will be thinking of you tomorrow, as you are heading into surgery. I pray that all goes well while you are in the surgeons hands, and that he can clear out all your scar tissue, and perform the surgery so that you have the best possible outcome. I can’t wait to hear from you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 I don't believe any of the "caines" are narcotic. Their effect takes place on the immediate nerve, not via the opiate receptors in your brain... Opiates work by affecting your brain, not the local nerves.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi Daphne, I had surgery on my rib-cage, and my chest. The surgeon took out a couple of lipomas (fatty tumors) that were bothering me. All he used was a local and I did not stop taking the LDN nor was there any reaction to the local he gave me. Just my two cents worth. (I did tell him what I was taking prior to surgery) Jim [low dose naltrexone] surgery Tuesday I have a question: I'm almost certain novocaine, xylocaine, or lanacaine (all local anesthetics) which are to be used for my toenail surgery Tues, are NOT narcotic--but does anyone know for sure? thanks, Daphne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In December he had gall bladder removal surgery, and his surgeon told us there was no reason to discontinue the LDN at all in regards to the pain meds he might or might not need, or the anethesia. The locals that you are talking about ARE NOT opiate based. And, you might also find it of interest that my son was able to take Lortab 7.5 for two days post op without any interference from the LDN. He never skipped a dose, we just made sure he didn't take his pain meds at the same time that he took the LDN. Everything went just great! Good luck to you!

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hi Daphne I had a cebacious cist removed from my back after about two months into taking 4.5 mgs of my LDN and I never had a problem with any kind of pain killers that were given to me. Either during or after the operation.
