I completely agree with Chirley, the "conscious sedation" is a "no brainer". I have had 13 BMBs and the "conscious sedation" is absolutely no problem in any way. If I weren't retired, I could have gone back to work 30 minutes after the BMB. I felt nothing from the sedation during or after the procedure. They have me stay on the table lying on my back for 20 minutes just to put pressure on the hip to stop any bleeding (which there is very little) and then I hop off and am on my way.
I have had both the drill and the needle, can't say which I prefer ... they are both fun.
