Hey all. Haven't been on in awhile. Still dealing with work comp and nerve pain down my left leg. My question today involves a 'steroid' injection I had recently in my shoulder. I have had, what seems like, a billion injections in my back, hip and shoulder over the past 9 years and I know some or all must have included lidocaine. I've never had any adverse reactions. The most recent injection, the doctor hadn't even removed the needle yet and I was already starting to faint. I've never fainted in my life. He helped lay me down on the table and my face immediately went numb and I couldn't breath. Then I'm sure I began to panic because of all of that, which made it worse. My body and legs were shaking uncontrollably. What the heck happened? Doctor kept saying it must have been the lidocaine. Doesn't make sense to me. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
