During club thumb surgery are you put to sleep or do u feel everything ??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What, no feelings ?: The surgery can be performed either under general anesthesia(asleep) or local anesthesia(just your thumb). Either way, you should not feel any pain other that a small needle stick.
