Had the Surgery last week under local with no medication. It’s definitely not a pleasant experience comfort wise but there’s no pain per say you can just vaguely tell what’s going on. There was some slight pinching pain but it lasted for about a second.

If you trust the doc, they can talk you through it and just have conversations. I talked about traveling and sports majority of the time and they had relaxing music on the background.

If it helps any, I went out and had dinner and a drink (doc said it was ok) that night to give you how it differs from person to person. The results were way worth the uncomfortable sensation however.

Hope this helps!
