Hi Rich,
I have had 4 BMB. 3 with lidocaine, which did nothing,.and were painful (like mining for gold with a teaspoon in your bone) and the fourth with proprol (sp) which had to be done in the hospital outpatient facility. I had asked for 'conscious sedation', but was knocked out and I believe, afterwards, it was a bit of overkill. I was groggy for a couple of days. For my next one, which has been postponed by the dr. a couple of times, I plan on taking xanax and hydrocodone before the procedure (dr. suggested) and I think my IPOD, plugged in my ears with my favorite music playing may do the trick. We'll see.
Best of luck,
Donna
