The shot they gave me was to deaden the nerve endings in my toes. They swelled like crazy. It actually took effect fairly quickly. They gave me the shots pretty much right before they started on my nails. They kept poking my toe with a tiny straight pin until I couldn't feel it.
But that was my toes.... Everybody's case is unique..
Sorry to hear about your Grandpa. I know how rough it is with how "little" I went through at such a young age. I couldn't imagine going through 4x that amount at his age. I had to have a bone marrow biopsy.. That SUCKED!!!
For those who dont know a bone marrow biopsy procedure, they shove a pencil lead size needle through the actual bone and into the marrow. They did it in both of my hip bones in the small of my back.
O and I had to have an arthrogram. On my left shoulder.. Google it.
Again good luck man..
