Is Cocaine Ever Used During Sinus Surgery? They Found Cocaine in My Blood and I Do Not Use It. ??

Question by Weber: is cocaine ever used during sinus surgery? they found cocaine in my blood and i do not use it. ??
i had surgery on my spenoid sinus two days ago. i woke up this morning (4-22-06) and was told by my surgeon to go the the ER. i went and they found cocaine in my system. i *never* use cocaine. i don’t even drink caffeine. i have a seizure disorder and stay away from any type of stimulant. i do know the surgeon used a “numbing agent” for my sinuses after they put me to sleep for surgery. do surgeons use cocaine in surgery? i have no idea how cocaine could have gotten in my body!
worried…
i don’t know how to answer the replies i’ve gotten. someone asked me why i went to the ER. i was told to go because i was vomitting violently which isn’t good after having a surgery in my head…the pressure can cause bleeding. they need to tell a person if they are going to use even a derivative of cocaine that would show up on a blood test. i am angry and am feeling very sick. when the doctor told me there was cocaine in my blood test, it was like a punch in the gut.
a patient should know if they are being subjected to a drug like this! especially when i have hypertension and seizures.
ohhh i’m ticked! this is the only way it could have gotten in my body. i don’t do drugs. :( how embarrassing.
to follow up…i went to see my surgeon for my follow up. when he left the room i looked at the report..and there it was! 4% cocaine.
wow.
i wish i would have been told because of my hypertension and seizures.

oh well, it all turned out fine. at least they didn’t have law enforcement come talk to me. that would have really flipped me out!
thank you so much for the answers. problems solved. oh! another thing i learned is that tylenol 3 (with codeine) can also produce a falst positive for cocaine testing.
