I am going to need general anesthesia for a surgery, and am unfortunately aware of the fact that a significant percentage of people experience pain and conscious paralysis under it. What do I do?
Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post; c/mutualaid feels like it would draw attention away from people with more urgent issues, and c/mentalhealth is very inactive and rarely anyone ever sees it.
I had it when I had my wisdom teeth removed. Wasn't aware of shit but it took me an extra long time to wake up after I guess. I'm getting a vasectomy in a month or so and it's gonna be local anesthesia so I'll be fully conscious. I'm way scared about it lol.
That's what I read it feels like too. I'm not so much scared about during but the build up and just the act of going through it. I'm not a fan of needles at all and try to avoid the doctor if I can. I'm gonna do it though.
I got movies a a whole lot of weed planned for the long weekend.
I had surgery under local anesthesia a few months ago. And I hope I can put your mind at ease, because it went very well.
Long story short, it was supposed to be general, but instead was done local. A vasectomy is significantly less invasive than my surgery.
The the only painful part was the shots to numb the area. Once the surgery started, I didn't feel pain, any kind of pressure, or weird feelings. I had no idea the surgeon started cutting. That's how effective the shots were. I was talking through the whole thing, and not concerned at all. I remember thinking during the procedure that I could do this again, no problem.
It helps lol. I'm more worried about the stuff before, I guess. Like are they gonna stick a needle in my balls? I don't know how the full thing works except they numb you and either cut a slit of poke a hole and then snip, cauterize, and stitch it up.

The worst thing about the surgery, (obviously besides the initial shot that hopefully won't go into your balls,) is the healing process. Just take the pain meds especially if they help with inflammation. But I found on the third day it was night and day improvement, and like I said, my surgery was pretty involved.
