I had a hip replacement this year and Drs wanted to give a nerve block I refused because 2 yrs ago I had knee replacement I was given a nerve block when I awoke I had femoral nerve damage. Felt like firecrackers exploding in my right leg. They were stunned that iI said no, but it took 2 years and tons of PT to have the femoral nerve heal. Drs said the pain will be extraordinary, I said I'll take my chances or otherwise I may risk impairment and wind up in a wheelchair or spend 2 years in PT again. Just want to mention the damage I have is extensive damage due to 30 years of arthritis, so this is not the regular experience for patients.
