Q: reverse shoulder replacement.
I had a reverse shoulder replacement right shoulder and right before surgery they were to give me a nerve block. A tall blond with a young boy They were using a sonogram to find the nerve in my neck. She had the boy pushing the plunger. I kept telling them I did not feel any difference in my arm. The nurse was pinching my arm so hard it was hurting me. Then the right half of my face felt numb, they kept pushing the plunger even though I was told them to stop they would not stop. I thought well this is it I felt like I was going to die. very scary. I have pic's and witnesses

What a horrible experience. I am so sorry.
