I'm scheduled for a minor procedure where the doctor will use Lidocaine 1% Inj, 2ml for local anesthesia. I've read about the potential side effects, but I'd love to hear from people who have actually used this. What were your experiences like? Were there any side effects? If so, how severe were they, and how long did they last? Also, any tips on how to minimize the risk of side effects would be appreciated! My doctor didn't mention much about the rare but serious side effects, so I'm hoping to get some firsthand insights.

I'm scheduled for some dental work and the dentist mentioned using Lidocaine 1% Inj, 30ml for numbing. I've never had this before and I'm a bit nervous. Can anyone share their experiences with this? What should I expect in terms of side effects? I've read about some serious ones but they seem rare. Should I be concerned? Also, how long does the numbing effect usually last? I want to be prepared for what's to come.
