Those are good points Littlepaw. Acute pain could easily trigger a flair for me and that could easily last longer then the effects of the general anesthesia. As far as her being able to do a proper local, that will be up to the person administering the injection and I will discuss it with him/her beforehand. I am grateful for the benefit of your experience.

Because of my nerve trauma, I personally try prevent getting hijacked too much by preventable, acute pain. When I had an extraction done last year they gave me a dab of ketamine and versed and in hindsight I was really glad I wasn't awake for the procedure even though many people could be.
Is the doctor's hesitancy due to difficulty in doing a proper local in the area for the size polyp she has to remove?
