Lidocaine injections.

So, neuro is using me as a bit of a guinea pig, 2 weeks ago gave me about 6 4% lidocaine injections around my eye, yesterday it was 8+ with some extra at the tmj along the cheekbone, top of temple, all along the eyebrow and under the eye. It seems to deaden the pain in those areas of an attack but not prevent it totally, so it helps to a degree, still get pain deep under my eye, top of forehead and back of temple by the top of my ear but not much anywhere else. So it is something to maybe keep an eye on or give a try.

 

Anyone else had similar areas nerve blocked?

had something similar done by my neuro

a mix of lidocaine and a corticosteroid in the back of the head (occipital area), deep with a long needle. felt as if it was injected in the center of my head so to speak, i could hear the liquid being pushed into my brain, was a weird sensation.

didn't kill the hits but made them a bit more bearable. the back of my head was numb for over 2 weeks, felt kinda funny.

Had that, occipital block, all around the occipital bone my one neuro did it in like 8 places all around it, it cause a massive hit as during the injections could feel the pain hit those nerves and shoot right into the side of my head, was numb back there a while but did not seem to blunt anything.
