Hello,
It depends on the type of local anesthetic they use. If they use lidocaine no more than 2hrs. Marcaine would be well over 2hrs.

3-6 hrs.
Usually 1 to 2 hours but might last a bit longer.
A nerve block will last from 2-5 hours, depending on local anesthetic used. I recommend you discuss with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for your particular case
Usually about 1.5-3 hours, depending on how your body metabolizes the medication. If a physician uses a long acting anesthetic, the numbness may last for 6-8 hours
