If someone is getting hydrodistension with dmso for therapeutic effects and they are not getting general anesthesia, what kind of anesthesia would they get? I reqested not to have general anesthesia because of the long recovery

I usually have a spinal, but it also takes time to "wear off."

I had mine done with General because the spinal always makes my back hurt really bad. The general was very easy. I cried before I went in, which is par for "my course" but after that things went very well. Afterwards I was really sore but nothing crazy. I wasn't any better or any worse, except for the soreness. Good luck.Katie-46 yr old female dx'd with IC after 15 years of symptoms off and on long term antibiotic use, GERD,IBS and now IC diet, gallbladder removed, endometrial ablation w/tubes tied

The one they give to patients in labor I believe is called an epidural. When I have a spinal, I have no feeling at all from the waist down to the tips of my toes for a while.

I'm curious about this also. I am going to have this procedure done in the next month or so. I hesitated because I was told I have to be put to sleep. I'd rather not be. So being awake is an option? I'm wondering why I wasn't told that. I suppose I could call the doctor's office. Then of course I will get a phone call three days later.

Diagnosed: 2011 - have had symptoms for over 20 years. Diagnoses so far: Overactive Bladder, then IC, and now Myofacial Pelvic Pain Syndrome.
Medicines: For IC am doing PT, and will be taking Gabapentin, Ativan, Tramadol and Ambien. Ice packs and drinking vanilla shakes help. Foods that cause a flare, tomatoes, yogurt, coffee, soda, all sports drinks, and most teas. Take Verapamil, Naproxen (as needed), Omeprazole, Frova (as needed) and receive Botox shots(every three months) for migraines. For allergies I use Claritin and Flonase. (Feel free to ask me any questions about meds.)
Other conditions: Migraines, allergies, mild IBS.

You can look it up but a spinal is basically the same thing as an epidural.Katie-46 yr old female dx'd with IC after 15 years of symptoms off and on long term antibiotic use, GERD,IBS and now IC diet, gallbladder removed, endometrial ablation w/tubes tied

You have a few weeks to do your research and ask a lot of questions if you are so uneasy. Maybe set up an appt soon with the anestheaseologist who will be tending to you. A lot of times they will talk with you prior to your procedure (not the same day, but way before). Do wish you luck, let everyone know how you make out. Hang in there honey, and don't get all stressed out. Jill, wife of BobComment
