Numbing cannula site Started by: Hollie

I feel the exact same as you, I haven’t had my surgery yet and the only thing I’m dreading is the canula xx

They can put emla cream on. Or you can buy it yourself from a chemist.
I know that they can give you some of the gas through the mask in the anaesthetic room before they put you to sleep and then do the cannula for people who are really scared so your not as aware of it.
But honestly its just a sharp scratch and over with in 3 seconds xx

I am a wimp when it comes to needles literally cry an i didnt feel this go in its so tiny. The tube you see is not what goes inside you an the thing that does is like thin plastic. You will not feel it lol do nit worry girls, i didnt notice they even put it in they distract you too xx

I had the cream Hun. I was so worried I hate needles! But honestly I didnt feel a thing xxx

I have had cannulas alot before, i just talk to the nurse and ask the anesthetest not to tell me when they are going in it makes me worse when they say slight scratch as you then tense up. X

Hey iv got my surgery tomorrow and I’m the biggest wimp! I also have very small veins last time I had to have one put in it took 3 different nurses and kept falling out so I’m bricking it! Hopefully they’ll be able to use the cream or gas us first like the other girls have said! I’m gonna talk to my anaesthetist first and tell them my worries.
When’s your surgery Hollie? Xx

Oh gosh I feel your pain!
It’s literally come around so quick I booked it in November and have had a countdown on my phone haha. 2 weeks will fly by for you 🙂 xx
