Local & General Anaesthetics!?

Question:

I recently underwent a small procedure where a local anaesthetic was injected directly into my cervix (not a pleasant experience I can tell you). For three days after I had flu like symptoms and now am so tired, and look terrible. It has also manifested itself into a really bad head cold too!!

Does anyone have any great pick-me-up ideas - things to eat, drink, pamper things, etc, after undergoing any type of surgery? My brain is not functioning at all and it's my first day back at work. So, you could say I'm feeling a little sorry for myself.

Thanks. x

Answers:
Boost your intake of vit C to 1000 mg a day. This will aid your body to recover quicker. Rest as much as you can. When you feel tired, it's your body's way of telling you to rest, and let it do it's work of recovery.

poor you! on your way home, get yourself some really nice bubble bath, something nice and warm to drink that you like, and the biggest bar of choccie or bag of crisps that you like.
later on, put some gentle music on, light some candles in the bathroom and run yourself a bubble bath. have a nice soak, then when your done, have a comfort guilt free binge!

hope it helps! xxx

You poor thing. I'm guessing the hospital were OK with you going home? Perhaps you could ring them (or your Dr) and ask for advice? Sounds like perhaps you shouldn't be back at work. Perhaps something for a cold would help you but I really think you should check with your Dr first. Hope you feel better soon.

I dont think the LA should have caused this problem. You may have got an infection during the procedure. Go check it out with the doctor, or prehaps you are allergic eg if you were getting IUD. Again, see your doctor.
