A few months ago I had ablation on left knee. After a few weeks it was clear it did not help. Doctor said they are going to have to go deeper and scheduled a denervation. After the ablation I remember waking in a chair in prep area. This time I woke up in operating room and asked was I dreaming. They said yes. I don't know if i was thrashing around or something but they had to bring me out of anesthesia. From that point on they just used a local. OH MY GOD was that painful. I also noticed while they were doing the procedure MY doctor was not even in the room. Which I am okay that another doctor did it, but feel I should have been informed of this before hand. It has been 2 and half days. I am a little sore at injection site but don't seem to have the same pain I was having in my knee. Hopefully this time did the job.
