Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Tom, Deb G., the Owner of this group....has mentioned a Banana Boat Tanning lotion that has Lidocaine in it before..... Well, I was looking for it the other day. I couldn't find it, but I did find an Aloe Vera Gel that has 5% Lidocaine in it! So, I bought that.....and I hope that it will help some. Considering that it cost $7, it better do something! But, even if it doesn't help me any....it is for burns...regular burns or sunburns. So, at least the whole family will be able to use it this summer. Tonia -------Original Message------- I had the same problem with the patches, finally, they gave me the gel form which works great, I don't know wht they didn't give me the gel in the first place, it's cheaper, goes on with no burn, invisable, and you can put it on everywhere. Thanks for your input on the other groups. Your hippie friend from n.j.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Well, I'll have to ask my doctor about it then! I forgot to call today to find out when my MRI is supposed to be.....so, I'll call first thing in the morning....and if I get the doctor instead of his wife, I will ask him about it! Right now, the back of my shoulders are killing me......I've really got to do something here!!! Tonia -------Original Message------- Tonia: What I have is the prescription kind and I do not know the difference between over the counter stuff and the prescription kind. Iam a great help??? All I know is that I can wear clothing when I apply the gel and at lasts a long time. Sorry!!! I can't give you more information (now) Iam going to Dr. soon and I'll ask. I have a call into my pharmacy ( I only deal with one person there ) and waiting for her to get in.

Are you using EMLA or something else? Hoping for Pain Free Days,Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
