Hi Al,
I had nerve damage and believe me, if you had it you would know it. And
if you do have it the worst thing for it is a local anesthetic. I lived
with this for years and I could not imagine anything that could cause
more pain. It is a constant knifelike pain and throbbing. Any sort of
injection made it double. Be careful.
