Do lidocaine injections provide relief from pain?

Some specialists use lidocaine injections to provide pain relief. The amount of relief you are going to get from this treatment really depends on the severity of your pain and the underlying cause of the pain. As you receive more injections, your level of pain relief should increase. Make sure you talk with your pain specialist about your concerns and your current lack of pain control so that the treatment plan can be evaluated and changed as needed.
