Marcaine Reviews
For Local Anesthesia "This drug was used as a local before breast biopsy. The instant it entered my body I felt extreme burning and it continued several minutes. The biopsy was almost done before the burning stopped. I have NEVER hurt so bad in my life, and that includes natural childbirth and an episiotomy done without benefit of anesthesia. The burn was so bad that I couldn't stop shaking and crying. Five days later and I am still numb in my breast."
For Local Anesthesia "I had a severe case of hidradenitis, which had to be excised. The surgeon used this when closing to lessen the pain afterwards. It worked very well."
