My daughter has issues with her bladder and this has been for a long period of time and was offered Sacral Nerve Stimulation. She had the trial which was done under local anaesthetic and this was painful. She was made to believe the permanent procedure would be under general anaesthetic but it turns out it was under local and it was a very distressing and painful procedure.
I don’t think this is right that it is being done under local anaesthetic I understand there’s risks involved with general anaesthetic but having someone awake during this is just barbaric. This needs to be reviewed urgently it’s not fair for people going through this pain and distress.
"Very distressing and painful procedure"
