“How well does local anesthesia work?”
My grandmother has to get surgery on her leg and her anesthesiologist wants to use local anesthesia during the procedure. How well does it usually work to subdue the pain? Will she feel anything? She's over 70 years of age.

Local anesthetic medications are great to help with Surgery and pain related to it. An anesthesiologist can surround nerves with medicine and perform a “block” to help with surgery and pain. She will likely still feel some discomfort but it will improve.
