I’ve had more procedures than hot dinners . I have MS but I’ve also had IVF, a hysterectomy and a colostomy bag. I don’t believe her story. Steroid injections into joints are done in our patient clinics usually. The need for sedation is absolutely bonkers ! For your back? Shur you need to be able to pin point the spot exactly for them right when they have the needle! Makes no sense to me! She’s describing the process for a camera down the throat / up the arse between the tea and toast and the sedation. There’s no way they would sedate you for something in your back ????! In all of my life that I’ve spent in hospital this makes no sense. And to fast for it also?! I’ve had local anaesthetic and steroid injections into my pelvis and hip and sedation was never a thing!
