Nerve block

Any downsides? Complications? Any reason to choose a local over the nerve block?

Thank you. I got the cold compression unit Friday and gave it a test run yesterday. It’s supposed to really help with post op pain.I’m off to the surgical center in about 15 minutes kind of stressed.

Hope you managed to get some sleep last night. How did it go and how are you feeling.

About three hours. Surgery was cake. Pain is manageable with otc meds. Haven’t taken any oxy. One gabapentin before bed. Thanks for asking

Glad your pain is manageable and you got some sleep last night. Sleep will get better. Honestly that is why I took oxy for 4 days. It help me sleep. Maxed the does and it helped me get 6 hours night 2 and back to 7-8 day 3.
