My numbness is not nor has ever been permanent. My shoulder, arm and hand experience it in intervals regardless of lidocaine but not as often since. For me lidocaine infusions have relieved pain, aching and cramping in calves that had been preventing me from walking in addition to overall relief of pain throughout my body.

Thank you for your prompt reply. You say infusion, are you talking about IV infusion? Which doctor orders it? Do you infuse at home or go to the doctor and how often is the infusion done and how long does it take? What is your dose? My experience with lidocaine is that it doesn’t last very long.
I’ve only used lidocaine spray for my mouth because of bitting my tongue and cheeks. Also injections for stitches which are short acting. I remember I couldn’t use very much.
