I had my first infusion done last month and it helped for almost a week. Then it wore off. I’m scheduled for my next one next Monday. Did you get scheduled for your first infusion yet?

I have looked into it but the cost was too much for me since it is not covered by insurance. $500 an infusion

oh, you're talking about an infusion my bad. is it for chronic pain? can you let me know if it's of any help? i really need to look for other options than opioid medications for my chronic pain bc they're not helping anymore.

i've had lidocaine a bunch of times when i've required sutures to numb the area, and also at dentist for a filling. the injection is sort of painful (stinging/burning sensation for about 10 seconds) so if you're sensitive to pain i recommend maybe clenching your fists or taking some deep breaths. do you mind me asking why you need it?
