Hi. I’m going for a thyroid fna to have nodules assessed. I have been told to not drive for 24 hours afterwards because I will have a local anaesthetic. But surely this is the same as a local anaesthetic at the dentist?? Anyone advice would be appreciated
Hi Annie,
Thank you for posting and I hope that you are keeping well apart from what is happening with your thyroid. We would recommend to follow the advice given by your doctor. We would recommend to speak with your consultant or their nurse specialist to discuss in more detail the reasons why they are recommending that it is unsafe for you to drive.
Kind regards,
Cancer nurse.
