[|Human|] I m going in hosp on 30th for op on bartholomew cyst have never been operated on before and am terrified if needles! is there anything i can have before hand to make it less painfull when they put the needle in to put me to sleep?? also i m worried that when i wake i will be in pain do they give you some kind of painkiller before you wake??
[|AI|]  I understand your fear of needles, and it sounds like you are afraid of the IV needle. Sometimes the staff can put on a local anesthetic prior to insertion of the needle. Most hospitals do not do this though. I can reassure you though the IV needle pain is minimal and will be over very quickly. Post surgery you will have pain, but they will medicate you before you wake and give you medication after surgery. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
