A member asked:
For general anesthesia, what medication can be given to you so that you can't move your arms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you require...: That you don't move during surgery, the anesthesiologist will give you one of several drugs called paralytics. However, if given, you won't be able to move anything, not just your arms.
