My "Rear Admiral" will not give a colonoscopy without sedation as he feels it is dangerous to do so. He said it is unfair, at best, to expect a patient to remain perfectly still under those circumstances and that increases the risk for a perforation.

Jane - you are right - that ONLY makes sense. But I think doctors are smart and have NO COMMON SENSE. That's why we are lucky to have nurses, they are both brain smart and street smart. I mean, I told the nurses I was worried, they put a note right on the chart listing the pain meds I was on.
Thanks to everyone who felt my pain! Now we are all butt buddies ![]() My best to all, Nancy-H |

I have waked in your shoes and after I said to the Dr I just can't stand the pain he said, "Do you want to go to the twlite (sp) zone ", I said yes. That was the end of my pain. I would suggest if you hear of some Dr that will put you to sleep, go there.
Nancy I am doubled up in pain today after a good day yesterday. It wouldn't do any good to call the Dr, so now what do I do? I am so allergic to pain meds about all I can take is Vicodin. i have all stengths here at home. I am suffering with severe leg pain. My surgeon says he now thinks it is a hernia. I have an appointment wih another surgeon Monday. I am just sitting here now with cold chills going down my back. I may try ice, nothing else has worked today. I don't dare use a heating pad after this burn that hasn't went away yet. Has anyone else had a hernia with a lot of pain & what did you do about it? blessings, Billie ![]() |
