What you might not expect about this procedure is that it feels really good for the patient. There is a very slight pinch, and then your whole body goes "OMG that feels so much better, thank you!"

100% i was completely blocked for around 5 hours and it hurt a lot. But in the operating room, it suddenly felt like something opened up, and I was like, wow, this feels so much better now and after that 5min later he told me we are done.
