I had a total knee replacement performed by specialist aided by the anaesthetics team.

I had a spinal tap and a general and I didn't feel a thing. I went in at 15.30 and was back in my room fully alert at 18.00 This was my first big operation. I need not have worried.

The whole team is there to make sure this is a no pain experience. There were times at night where I had a pain break through and a nurse was there in minutes (sometimes seconds) of pressing the call button.
