“local anesthesia”
I still have other surgeries to do but I don't want to go through the same nightmare. Is there a way to know what is the molecule in the anesthesia which caused me all that in order to avoid it?
N.B : I know that local anesthesia does not cause urinary retention and it is very rare. Unfortunatly, I am a rare case and I would like to know what is the solution for rare cases like me.
Please find attached the box of the local anesthesia that the dentist used
Important Information:
Symptoms: urinary retention, pain in the lower abdomen, bradycardia, tremor...
December 24, 2022: hospitalization for 24 hours. The dentist had used 5.1 ml of lidocaine 2% epinephrine 1:100,000 (the same product as in the photo).
March 8, 2022: hospitalization for 8 days. The dentist had administered 4 cartridges of lidocaine 2% epinephrine 1:100,000.

methylparaben. It’s a preservative in dental Xylocaine. That means that you can safely receive this local anesthetic without that preservative if you will have another surgical procedure. Just mention to the Surgeon that you had the complication from methylparaben in the Xylocaine vial.
