I had a spinal for surgery and after coming out of the anesthesia, they had to strap me down. After that, I had regular anesthesia with surgery, and never had any post-op problems.
I had a spinal during my hysterectomy last yr and it worked really well for a couple of days. The days they want you in bed 24/7.
However, if I needed surgery in the future I would ask that it was removed sooner.
