Hysteroscopy

Hi - I also had a hysteroscopy done via general as too painful otherwise. Have a quick word with your consultant or CNS. I think you should be fine if travelling by train if you have someone with you.

You certainly can't drive whether it's done by GA or epidural.

After my epidural I was in a recovery room with nurses checking on me every so often. I was totally numb from the waist down, strange feeling believe me. It took about 3 hours until I could feel sensation by pinching my buttocks! The nurses helped me to swivel off the bed and stood by to make sure I was steady on my feet. Once I could take a few steps unaided I was able to dress and walk out to the car.

Wow amazing how do you lay there and keep still are you sure you don't feel it, worried about it all but not even got that far yet

Sorry was thinking hysterectomy as dr said by epidural 

I believe some hysterectomies have been done by epidural but no way was that for me LOL! My hubby was asked if he wanted his hip replacement done by epidural - he watched a YouTube video on the procedure and passed!

Yes I was thinking the same

I had my third child delivered by caesarean section with an epidural. I actually watched it in the chrome light fitting they use. It feels like someone is rummaging around your insides but it doesn't hurt at all.
