forevertired Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Numbing agents such as lidocaine, markane, etc... don't work for me. No matter how much I am given either by shot, or rubbed on, my skin doesn't go numb, and I still feel pain when the doctor's try to do anything. The level of pain is the same as if they never injected me in the first place. If anything it hurts more, because of the bruising from the shots.Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could cause this?My doctor's refuse to believe me when I say they don't work.Thanks.
