Types of local anesthetics used by all responding physicians. S-A bursa and G-H data are similar. N/A = not applicable (i.e., physicians who inject painful shoulder conditions as part of their practice but who do not inject the joint indicated); Combo = combination of Lidocaine and Bupivicaine. Bupivicaine has significantly prolonged onset of anesthesia (~2–10 minutes) when compared to lidocaine (seconds to minutes) (package product information, Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, IL, USA).
