    I just want to add my experience of BNBs. Either I am very lucky with my consultant who has done it each time or else I am fortunate to have a high pain threshold but I barely feel any effects.It is a bit uncomfortable when the bone is reached but then plaster on it and forget all about it. It goes to show that everybody experiences it differently. I think stress beforehand only makes it worse.

    Hi

    I’ve had two BMB and I’ve had gas and air each time. It made it quite doable and leaves your system as soon as you stop breathing it. With sedation you have to have someone with you to take you home and stay with you. My advice is ask for G AND A. There is no reason why any hospital should refuse that.

    Good luck and try not to worry too much
