Lidocaine Reaction
About 6 months ago, I went to a podiatrist to have an infected hangnail removed.
During the procedure, I had a seizure, ultimately determined by neurologists to be from Lidocaine entering my bloodstream.
Since this procedure, my toe is often numb and/or painful.
Will this eventually subside or can I expect to experience this for the rest of my life?

It normally takes 10-12 months for a toe nail to grow from beginning to end. When it is injured, it usually grows faster. As far as how long it will take for the tenderness to subside- it will probably be several days. Keep it covered and protected until it is better.
