I just got back from my second "test" that involved having SIX syringes stuck in my lower back all at the same time.

I REALLY wanted to be so cool, and brave, but I yelled and moaned and it was NOT my proudest moment. My nose ran. I felt like throwing up. I shook.

This was the last of the "tests", and eventually I will go on to have Radio Wave Ablation done, to kill the nerves in my lower back. Radio wave ablation is the SAME procedure, but instead of just injecting pain relievers as they did today, they will burn out the nerves in my lower back AFTER injecting pain relievers.

I got up from the table, and THEN the nurse tells me I could have had ADAVAN before the procedure.

I said, "Why the heck didn't anyone TELL me I could have had Adavan?" She said, "I don't know. I guess we just didn't think of it." 🙄🙄🙄

I wanted to say, "Holy Doo Doos, people! Are you really that clueless about causing pain and how NOT to cause pain?"

I am so sorry. That's about as bad as telling C to take two Tylenol 10 minutes before a biopsy in her private region. That ended terribly bad too. 🤦‍♂ Everyone knows it takes pills 40 to 60 minutes to get into your system and start working. Why are medical professionals so non caring??? 🤷‍♂

@Musicman I guess if they are not the ones getting syringes stuck in their back, they just don't "feel" their patient's pain.

@4meAndyou They must be Democrats! 😡😡😡😡 Next time see if they will give you a pain pill and take it 45 minutes in advance. That's what C does. They will prescribe 1 pill for you if you ask.

@Musicman Yes...that's why I'm upset. I COULD have asked for an Adavan to take in advance, if they had bothered to tell me that it was allowed.

@4meAndyou For her first biopsy the doctor told her to take 2 Tylenol 10 minutes before the procedure. As you know that procedure was in her Virgina. She screamed and cried. She begged the doctor to stop.

@Musicman I am so sorry to have made you re-live that trauma.
