Topic: Nerve Blockers Surgery type: ORIF Broken Fibula Nerve blocker was administered before anesthesia and the procedure was about 10-15 minutes for me, 2 injection sites. Pain level: 9/10 Notes: Did help with pain for about 2.5 days for me. Be mindful it does feel like you are hauling a sack of potatoes so becareful after surgery not to hurt leg since it is numb. But yes looking back I would do it again. To anyone going through this my messages are open for questions, wishing you all a speedy
