I have about five VERY large warts on my hand, and I've had countless freezing treatments for all of them. I've tried home remedies, acids, everything. So my doctor thinks that the only thing left to do is get it surgically removed (on New Year's Eve!)
I've never had anything like this done before. So I have a few questions, actually.
1.) Does Novacaine hurt? My mom told me that it only does for about 10 seconds, but that it's almost as painful as the surgery itself. Other people have told me that it doesn't hurt at all, just the needle going in.
2.) Am I going to be 'absolutely miserable' after the novacaine wears off? My doctor told me I would be.
I reallyyy appreciate it. I'm pretty scared, especially about the novacaine. Thanks!

The novacaine only hurts really when you get the injection, then you won't feel anything. After it's done, I wasn't in pain, and my doctor told me if I was just to take a couple Tylenol.
Good luck - you will be soooooo happy when it's finished and you are all healed!

The novacain will be a pinch and a burn and then numbness..after it wears off take ibeprofen or tylenol you
should not be in to much pain. Although the fingernail polish trick does work.. Also you can cover a wart in duct tape and that will also work.. my son had like 20 on his hands at one point and the freezing did not work, the acids didn't and because he was little i didn't want to put him threw getting them cut or lasored off, so i got online and learned about the duct take and i covered them and they were gone in a week..

They don't cut it off they use liquid nitrogen and no it doesn't hurt. A shot of novacaine would be more painful

i had a few on my hand too and one day while i was painting my nails, i decided to paint the warts too. it seem to suffocate the wart and it eventually dried up and fell off like crumbs. do this until they fall off and make sure you cover the whole wart and recover if you see the polish coming off. you will notice some bubbles forming too cos the wart cant breathe. hope this helps,it did for me ☺ and was less painfull ♥

The needle should be very fine. There will be pin prick, a slight burning then nothing.
Anytime you have cutting on your tissue there will come a time when the Novocaine wears off. You can use Advil to help with any pain.
