Is it possible that local anaesthetic doesn't work for me?

Asked By:dandan1719 in London England

I had breast augmentation surgery on Thursday and woke up after the surgery in agony even tho the surgeon said I was given a high dose of local anaesthetic. Even after being given morphine, codine and other painkillers I was still in a lot of pain nothing seemed to work. I also remember that in 2008 I was given a local anaesthetic so I could have stitches after having a baby and the mid wife gave me so many injections I lost count and yet I would not go numb and felt every stich.
