I need to have many toe nails removed. could i ask my doctor to give me versed instead of painful local injections?

Yes: You could ask. If you are very anxious then it may be helpful. You would still need a local block, you just would not care that it is happening.

Yes: But you will still need the injections for anesthesia but you won't care. This will also need to be done in an outpatient surgery center.

Probably not: Not unless you have a really high pain threshold ; you need the local to numb the nail bed; the versed offers no pain relief
