Local anesthesia

In 2016, my husband had a severe and life-threatening attack of SCLS. This has meant, among other things, a lot of neurogenic pain after compartment syndrome. After the attack, he has also become very difficult to anesthetize with injections, for example at the dentist. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Kristine,

I have not heard about anyone else having developed insensitivity to anesthesia as a result of nerve damage from compartment syndrome -- and I'm also one who had such nerve damage in both arms and legs.  It seems like something that could be resolved by increasing the amount or changing the type of anesthesia administered, as long as it is still within medically safe limits.

Thank you very much, Arturo. We will continue to search for possible solutions. However, it is important to point out that the change has occurred after a major attack of SCLS. Best wishes Kristine
