Yes you are awake!. Yes it is painful but less so if you are relaxed!. Ask your doctor to give you something to relax you before the injections!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes you are awake and relaxing will help you!. I don't know about your doctor but mine offers me a valium, just the same as they do when I get a MRI!. It's not the worse thing in the world but it is a little painful!. Here are a few links that may help you!.

Hi Colin, i had a nerve blocker via a CT Scan!. The scan shows them exactly where the needle is going so as to get it in the precise location!. They gave me a local and i felt no pain at all!. Previous to this they tried without a CT scan and they got it wrong!.!.!.!.!.the pain was unbearable! I had two MRI's one pre op the other post op, good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
