I had the bier block today. They didn't tell me they put ketamine in the solution in my arm...im a little fuzzy as on top of iv ketamine I had 6mgs of versed. When they released the cuff all the meds pooled in my lower arm rushed to my brain and weird stuff happened.they kept saying to give me more versed so I wouldn't remember. I'm not sure if it was the ketamine or the steroid or the lidocaine, but I couldn't hear,my limbs and head were flailing and I couldn't control it. I couldn't open my eyes yet was seeing amazing and crazy stuff..the nurses and drs talked me through and I woke up 3 hours later. Kinda seemed like they weren't surprised by what Happened...
It remains in my head a little but not as a terribly scary thing. I have some relief in my hand but where the iv went in that hand still hurts and the nerve up my forearm.

Wish it would have stayed numb! Well keep your fingers crossed for me, dr said it could take a bit to get true idea of if it really helped.

Is this normal or weird lol?
