Bladder biopsy with local anaesthetic

[Addictedtohotbaths1]

Has anybody had a bladder biopsy done with local anaesthetic?

I have the option of that or General Anasthetic but obviously the local will be over much quicker and less chance of complications from GA.

But... I have had a very traumatic birth plus complications from a surgery last year which meant I ended up with a catheter at home which I found terribly distressing and I'm freaking out that being awake for a pretty invasive procedure is going to trigger a panic attack or something..

Thanks in advance

I have had this under GA and I was okay to go back to work after 24 hours from when I came round although was still hurting a little when I went to the toilet.
The problem with IC is that nobody actually can decide what causes it and nobody can find a treatment that helps all patients so it really is trial and error. My GP won't prescribe some of the medication unless I have a consultants notes as they are newish (and expensive).
