2020, Orthopaedics and Traumatology: Surgery and ResearchCitation Excerpt :The skin infiltration pain is largely attributed to their acidity. Solutions with lower pH cause increased pain by two different mechanisms [20,21]: first, the acidity irritates more neutral tissue and causes a burning sensation. Second, at a lower pH, the anesthetic is in an active, freely diffusible form, leading to prolonged time until the onset of anesthesia.
