They beat me to it. Pedialyte is one of the best things for dehyradation. Curious is right about the cycle of electrylyte imbalance its so important and being balanced does help the pain.
Did they knock you out for the block? Last block I had I told the doc that no matter what they give me I get naseous so the last time they made sure they went light on the opioids in the anesthesia but also pumped me up with anto nasuea meds. It helped.
Also breathe in through nose and out through mouth, that always helped. me.
