I would reschedule your second appt.

My husband has had facet injections four times. Everytime, the instructions were to go home and lay around. Limited walking, limited sitting...just rest...

well, i guess nothing puts me down.
i've had Versed several times. it works
like a charm. remember nothing.

i wake up seemingly immediately and
have no adverse effects. i don't remember
being tired altho i didn't drive myself at all.

good luck.
best to reschedule your other appt tho.

I agree...it's a wonderful drug. I had a colonoscopy, and my recent nose repair under it's influence and don't remember a thing.

In Australia we go by the brand name Hypnovel, but it's the same drug though (Midazolam).

But do as the others say....go home & rest. Best to reschedule your other appointment.

I haven't had either yet - this is the first part which is diagnostic. So what I was told was 'go home and do all the things that crank up the sx to see if the shot was alleviating them.' This shot only lasts a couple hours, so I have to be alert right after the procedure.

If it works then I go back for the actual injection, which can last 6 mos to a year.
