Usually lasts 2 to 3 hours
Lidocaine injected into a wound may provide numbness for a couple of hours afterward, then wears off. As post-surgical pain begins to recur, other (oral or intravenous) analgesics may be given.
Lidocaine lasts about 45 minutes to 90 minutes after injection in most situations
