Mmmmm interesting I have pain injections every 3 months by my pain clinic 2 in each shoulder 1 in right side of back of neck and 1 in back left side by spine. Been having them since october last year called trigger point injections and you know in all that time all I know is they work controlling the muscle spasms that give me headaches... Never even thought to ask what they are actually injecting... It's weird I am super sensitive to oral meds but injection meds are no problem if you are having what I have .. One woman I see regularly has them in her head for migraines they are slightly uncomfortable to have ... Sore for a couple of hours after then.... Relief...... I can actually feel my neck muscle relaxing

Cant imagine it to work for longer than a few hours? Its a local anaesthetic. IV would affect other things ie blood pressure
