@bustrbrwn22, So sorry to hear that the lidocaine is causing a flareup. Not sure why the doctors aren't listening to you. Here's some information I found that you might find helpful for talking with the doctor or at least seeking an alternative from the doctor.

-- Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity to Lidocaine: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/fullarticle/479223
-- How to Address Patients with a Documented Lidocaine Allergy: https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/how-to-address-patients-with-a-documented-lidocaine-allergy
-- Articaine as an alternative in lidocaine allergy: Case report of a seventy year old male patient: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7775968/

Are you able to seek help from another doctor?

I have left messages for my docs all week and not one return call. My PCP and her nurses said maybe they can see me on Monday but they don’t work weekends.
