@val64 A good question. I’ve been reading up on the internet as this procedure sounds terrible for @dj12 but necessary for relief. The articles I’ve read say no sedation and just a local anaesthetic to the needle site and underlying tissue.

Maybe that’s also something to be discussed with the hospital. I wonder why sedation hasn’t been proposed given the trouble dj12 has with the process.
