I did not realize this is an old thread, dead by most definitions --- won't erase my post, though, since it might, on an off chance, be informative to at least someone, somewhere.
Hello, A/all.
I am an ER trained nurse and a search and rescue EMT, and I can tell you without any reservation that using anything injectable is going to do some nasty stuff when exposed to branding heat.
You know what happens when liquid is heated, right? Anyone who does not needs a good look at the steam engine. Any additional liquid in the interstitial spaces will expand rapidly. Artificial edema such as is caused by injected lidocaine hydrochloride or similar local anesthetics could pose this kind of problem.
On the subject of edema, natural or otherwise. this condition distorts the branding field. This means that the branded area will change shape and contour as the lidocaine is absorbed. Another reason to not use it.
Lidocaine, if you hit a vein or artery, can cause some severe cardiovascular problems. We use it in cases of myocardial infarction, (heart attack due to lack of blood to the heart muscle) to help relax and get the heart back to a normal state. Also we use it prior to suturing wounds. It does puff the area a lot. Viscous lidocaine, such as is used for mouth pain, might have less of this kind of effect, but it is not well absorbed through the skin. (it is best on mucous membranes like inside the mouth for which it was designed.)
As to general sedation, or 'getting put out' for the procedure --- this kind of sedation is used inside a hospital where there are the proper facilities and teams to take care of any eventualities. Not even the best surgeon will put someone under without it being with a good anesthesiologist or anesthetist, under controlled conditions. On general sedation, 'being put under', ask your Dominant who would suggests this a simple question. "What defense will you use against the murder charge you are risking?" That question comes after, of course, the one the submissive must ask of self:"Just how tired of living am I these days?"
You can do what you want, for the most part. I can neither help nor hinder your explorations. I would advise against using pain killing most things, because it is all risky. Then again, parts of our liftestyle are risky. That's sometimes what makes it fun. Better to have the real risks small though--- I believe in being around in all ways considered to enjoy again the interactions tomorrow may bring.
Just my two pennies worth.
