Fucking hell....they didn't give me gas! Just local anaesthetic injection (that wasn't not completely effective). Fucking NHS!! My procedure was pretty horrendous really.
Mine was also local. Felt nothing. You just got a shit doc.
NHS? Does that mean it was free of charge? I had local anaesthetics as well but it was very thoroughly checked if it was enough already. It wasn't so I got extra injections. Had to pay 600 € everything included though. Would recommend.
Same story, different healthcare provider. U.S. VA system for me.
Well at least I was not the only one
They also used local which I have somewhat of a natural resistance to. Mid procedure I felt something and made them aware and they hit me with another dose. He did comment that it was "a lot" of local.
