It depends: On what local anesthesia is used, in what concentration, and if epinepherine is also in with the anesthetic. Anywhere from 1 to 8 hours.

Depends : On what type of block and what medication was used. Lidocaine a few hours, Marcaine lasts loner. Popliteal block can last 24 hours if you are lucky.
