When you get your adenoids out, you go into the hospital and get an IV, which is a needle that they stick in your vein. This may or may not hurt, depending on your sensitivity. You have a choice of local anesthesia, which can numb the injection area, so it feels like a little poke.

Then, you go in to the operating room, and they administer anesthesia (knocking you out), and then they take out your adenoids. While under anesthesia, you do not feel anything, because you are in a deep state of unconsciousness.

You wake up three to five hours later with a very sore throat and shivers. Afterwards, you go home and sleep some more.

While the surgery isn't painful, the recovery is.
