Is It Possible To Get A Conscious Sedation For Surgery On An Ingrown Toenail?
can you get a conscious sedation for surgery on an ingrown toenail. i have had the surgery on my right toe 2 times and my left 1 time(right and left being operated at the same time at one point) and i honestly couldn't put up with any of the pain the needle caused me it has made me fear even having something as simple as flu jabs and i used to not mind them at all.
i am from uk so hopefully you can answer that for me

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your question, such minor surgery always being taken in hand with local anaesthetic and no need for any sedation or inducing general anaesthesia for toe nail sugery local aesthetic is very safe, I hope you can understand this, have nice day.
