Twice now since I've gone to the dentist and had novacaine, just few hours later I experienced a horrible pain in the back of my head – located behind my ear. Last time it lasted for over 4 hours from and it was really severe. I got only about 2 hours of sleep that night. This is very strange because I was taking it in the past, but with no such consequences. But now I sure it is causing this unbelievable pain and numbness on my right side. I got so scared because of it that I called my neuro both times and he said it couldn't be the novacaine causing this!!! Coincidence? Is he right?? Is it possible that novacaine really in (or is not) causing all this??
I exactly know what you mean!! It makes me so mad when they're saying there is no connection when I know there sure is!! I is so obvious!!! I just wish I could help you out with this one but the last two times I got novacaine I went throught two days of serious buzzing from head to toe. Coincidence? Don’t think so. So, even though they don't see a connection between the two I would certainly see if your dentist could use something different the next time. Try to persuade him – I’m sure novacaine is not the only thing he’s got!! Good luck.
