So sorry you're dealing with this...

I agree with Nursekris about not understanding why the need for general anesthesia. Anesthesiologists will stay away from nerve blocks on people who had an identified nerve injury. Unless you had one (don't remember) I would think that regional block would have many benefits and longer lasting effect. They could always do IV sedation and low dose ketamine at the same time.

Consult your PM on the block issue and see what they say.
