Man, that nerve block is a lifesaver. Had that with my rotator cuff surgery. Made a huge difference for a few hours.
Hang tough, brother.

I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Re: This sucks
I guess not really a nerve block but I've had Spinal blocks twice and a Epidural once for surgery's and hated them. Weird feeling, not numb but it's like nothing is there from your waist down. You can kind of have a feeling of what it's like to be a paraplegic except you know it will wear off.Grunt67 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 6:23 pmBrokenolMarine wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 5:38 pmHome from surgery.

Don't actually remember the effects of the Epidural much, they had me under sedation for around 10 hrs. and I felt pretty lousy from that.

Re: This sucks
They did the nerve block first, using a Nerve stimulator to find the nerves to block. It was uncomfortable, but not too painful. Then I was gone, woke up a couple hours later, everything was done. No feeling from midway down the lower arm. There is some pain starting now, about twenty hours later... But grateful for a solid nights sleep. Glad to have the surgery behind me.

I thought my wife would set off the alarms at the airport but they tell me that stainless steel doesn't do that.
She has a plate and six screws. You would never know. She types and does everything just like before.
