If someone is to have a bone spur surgically removed from their toe. Is local anaesthetic painless enough?
Or should they ask to be knocked out if they're a bit squeemish?
Answers:
Hi.
A local anaesthetic "ring block" of the toe is very simple and will produce complete and total loss of sensation for at least three hours.
It is the method of choice for this type of surgery.
local anesthetic should take away all the pain
Well its not like they let you watch it being done. Once you get a local your not going to feel a thing.
probably local is enough.
Local should be sufficient and it's a lot safer.
I'm squeemish too, but as long as you don't look at it, it isn't all that bad. A lot like going to the dentist actually. You still feel pressure and tugging and so forth, but you don't fell wot's actually going on down there.
Well I had part of my nail removed under local anaesthetic and I didn't feel any pain after the injections. However the injections were quite painful because I remeber there was at least two, with one small needle and one big one. On the plus side the injections are over quite quickly.
Good luck.
For bone spurs you can usually get away with a local. A bunyon is basically a bone spur in a way, and I've had both my bunyons done under locals. It is really better for your body to do as much surgery under local anaesthesia as possible. Your body takes one hell of a licking under general. You recooperate a lot faster under local then you do under general. It's just safer for your whole body. Just to let you know one thing that nobody ever warned me about, if you have a local. After the surgery, which will probably be one of those in and out deals, if later on when the anaesthesia wears off you all of a sudden get a case of the chills, your teeth start chattering and you can't seem to get warm, no you aren't going crazy, it's a side effect of the local. I have had it happen all the time and thought there was something wrong with me. I finally said something to my shrink, after it happened three times. He assured me that it was normal. Doctors never tell you all the information, so I'm trying to help. But there is nothing to be squeemish about. Even though it is a local, they give you what is known as twilight, it's a sort of valium mix, and it will knock you out, just not that strong, so you will sleep through the operation, but it's like a real sleep, the kind where you do dream, you are not in a totally knocked out state, you wake up more refreshed. It sort of feels good to go under with this and you recover quite easily, so you aren't awake while they do the operation. Only I seem to have the joy of having things like that happen, they forget that I'm on a lot of drugs, i'm disabled and take a lot of drugs for the pain and don't always calculate correctly, so I've been awake for some of my minor surgeries.
Good luck, bone spur operations aren't that serious, but they still are operations.
