A member asked:
Can anyone tell me what is the best temporary anesthetic that completely numbs pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately Unable: Everyone is so different that to be able to identify the specific local anesthetic to use for you without your medical history would be next to impossible. Also the idea that anything will completely numb pain is unlikely. You will most likely get significant relief, but to get 100% relief cannot be guaranteed. I would suggest a consult with an interventional pain specialist for your pain.
