Barbotage No Lidocaine?

Hi! I’m possibly getting Barbotage for my Calcific Tendonitis in two weeks. I asked the medical assistant if they use lidocaine before the procedure and she said no! I have never heard of this nor have read anything online that they don’t use lidocaine. She must be wrong right? I’m already so nervous for this procedure and I can’t imagine not being somewhat numb.
