Is It Safe To Take Self Medicated Lidocaine Injections?

I ve been under mental treatments since I was 3. But started using OxyContin 5mg/375. For pain but not doctor proscribed because doctors are rare and in between here. Now I m using lidocaine injections self medicated, just wanting to know if I could really hurt myself. ( none intensional ) I ve tried everything for pain and nothing works aside from these things. I ve stopped the OxyContin recently that s why I ve started the lidocaine for deep pain in my back. Also I ve gone from 330 pounds to 220 in 4 months been trying really hard to lose weight. Wasn t in pain before I lost the weight. So I m really not really not sure what to do anymore.

HI
Thank for choosing HCM
You are absolutely doing wrong practice, you can not do this with your own neither the lidocaine is analgesic medicine but this is local anesthetic agent in my opinion you need psychiatrist treatment, see the psychiatrist as soon as possible, before it is too late, hope this information helps you, take care and have good time.
