PSA:
For any surgery, orthopedic, general, gyn for the ladies, if the anesthesia provider offers a regional block TAKE IT if you can.
For total knees and hips take the "spinal" anesthetic if you can.
Sometimes a patient's history, past surgeries, or medications can make regional anesthesia contraindicated, but anytime you can get a "block" I highly advise you too. The benefits almost always outweigh the risks.
For a shoulder surgery you can have an Interscalene block Idone in the neck) and with modern long acting medications not have pain for days. Days as in plural.
YMMV, anatomy matters, and some people just don't like needles.
