anesthesia
"Went in for bi-lateral SI injections at my Pain Management office. Ive had several of these done (only on one side) with a previous pain management Dr. with no sedation at all. Ive had several surgeries and procedures and am used to different levels of pain and pain meds. I was shocked to learn that I would be sedated for this. For me, Im like Ill take it, of course, Id rather be sedated than awake for needles being stuck in my spine lol. No burning sensation at all when they administered it into my iv, dont remember procedure at all, and woke up feeling just fine. No grogginess and was in and out in an hour. Only thing was my nose kept itching. Best feeling procedure Ive ever had done. Very easy, no anxiety, no pain. Good stuff."
