Local Anesthetic

I will be undergoing minor surgery and unfortunately cannot go to the hospital. I need to find an injectable local anesthetic and would prefer not to use cocaine. Is there anything legal and obtainable without going through a doctor which I could use? I know there are chemicals like lidocaine but as far as I know are only available in topical forms. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,

From a medical standpoint, please note that a local anaesthetic for injectable use is dangerous and should not be applied by people who are not licensed healthcare professionals inside a healthcare set up with back up facilities available.

You may use the internet to find out that each of these drugs are restricted for use and you should not apply them with out supervision and guidance of a doctor.

I would advise you to visit your hospital an not take any chances by using drugs which may have multiple effects if given in an incorrect fashion.

Hope this helped. Let me know if you may need any more information.
