Common Questions and Answers about Lidocaine injection

They used Buffered Lidocaine injection which I did not feel any of.. I must admit, I did put over the counter Lidocaine cream all over my breast about an hour before the procedure. I used this Lidocaine cream on my arm before a tetanus shot that I had to get and was so afraid of and I was screaming for the nurse to WAIT but.. IT WAS ALREADY DONE! Helps a lot so you don't feel pain.
Nurse also gave me tips for next time I get an injection.
She still has 1 filling left to get and frankly I am a little unsure about her having it done. The paramedics asked the dentist what she gave her and she told them lidocaine and epinephrine.
In a simple dental procedure, I had what I can only describe as a seizure after getting what was supposed to be lidocaine and epinephrine injection. The area never got numb, and the pain from the point of the needle each time they attempted to inject me was painful. I was taken to the ER and released after 8 hours with no explanation.
I read that lidocaine can cause a seizure. I have had injections many times with no problem. What could have gone wrong?
Everyone keeps telling me this is normal due to an increased volume at the injection site which is causing inflammation around the nerve. But, I have been on NSAIDs for 5 days and wearing a lidocaine patch on the injection site with no relief. Please help. I am terrified this is permanent. I just feel like no one is listening to how serious this could potentially be.

Yesterday I had my first injection. It was quite painful even with numbing the injection point with Lidocaine first. It was over rather quick but I could not stand on that leg when leaving the office. I needed a wheel chair to get to my car. The office staff waved me off without any warnings or concern.
You may also have occipital neuralgia, which can be treated with a combination steroid / lidocaine injection to the occipital nerve at the base of your neck. This should be tried if it hasn't already. I have to tell you that the combination of vision changes (floaters) and weird pain around the eye IS STILL possibly migraine.
You can get a prescription ointment with lidocaine and that will numb your skin. If you have not started tx yet you may be worrying more than is necessary. The shots are not painful, they give you a teeny tiny needle that is very sharp and you inject into fat so there is almost no sensation. I was worried about the injections but my fears about the injections were unfounded and I got through 48 weeks of tx (and 40 of them with an additional shot of Procrit) without any pain from the shots.
I went to the Emergency Room the other night, after cutting open the tip of my finger with crazy-sharp knife. Needed 3 stitches, preceded my two shots of lidocaine to numb finger. Finger is on the mend, but why am I 5 lbs heavier? This happened two days ago. My pre-injury weight is 112lbs at 5'3". have been taking a few Tylenol a day, eating what I usually do, which is very balanced and in moderation. Help!
With my daughter, her endocrinologist recommended the use of EMLA and it worked very well when we were trying a new injection site. Depending on the age of your child, even if this is used as a psychological tool, it's nice to know that there is something available that works well at both numbing the skin and calming the child. It needs to be applied and stay on the skin for approx. 20-30 minutes prior to injection though.
The first shot was fine, but the second injection sill caused my heart to pound hard, my chest felt shallow and made me feel a little panicy. It passed and the 3rd injection did the same. The assistant said "we did not give you epi, but that does happen to some people". I do have a history of sinus tachycardia and palpitations, but just had a full cardiac workup in April and he said I was fine just having PACs and they were harmless.
I have bad TMD too, but have never heard of this patch until I read your post. I've had a previous injection into my joint with lidocaine, which was more painful than it did any good. But the doctor's post is right-- its not really helping why you're having the pain. What other things are you doing for yourself? What have you tried that hasn't worked? Maybe I can try something that you've tried that's new to me :) I find travelling by car quite painful for me.
A few minutes after the injection that hand and arm started getting red blotches and itching...like hives. I thought of going back but I didn't want to be shunted to the ER for Benedryl so I just waited to see what happens. The hives dissipated within a half hour.
I've never had a reaction like this, in fact I never have any reactions to cortisone. I'm scared because I have to go back in 2 weeks.
