I am not a med student but I have a st jude pacemaker. Are you having problems with your equip? I have had to have my wires replaced twice and now the new set is fractured, I clotted the first time so my cardiologist says that when he changes them he will have to open my chest and put me on the by-pass machine so that he won't disturb any of the clotted area.....I' m really worried about it.

Rocky I suffered with the As*teroids for almost 20 years.\nI finally got tired of them and had the surgery.  I can honestly say I had ZERO pain!  I was in the hospital overnight because there were many..... but I wish I would have had the procedure done a long time prior!!  Believe me they will get no better without the surgery.

I would probably listen to what the surgeon is saying.  He has obviously performed this type of procedure on many patients before, with success.  Some surgeons have before and after photographs, you could ask if your surgeon has any?\n\nIt is natural for you as a parent to want the best and to be worried about the outcome. Relax a little I am sure everything will be fine.\n\nGood luck!

the ESIs outcomes are varied. my boyfriend had a series of 3 and nothing much happened for him, he said his shoulder felt numb for a while but he was still in a lot of pain. on the other hand i've had people tell me that after their first injection they felt like a new person and couldn't believe how good it worked. it really depends on what's causing your pain. my boyfriend did have better results when the ESI was done with fluoroscopy. the next step he's doing is neural block which is when they acutally burn the nerves. we'll see how that goes. good luck!

That's easy. Don't panic. I was scared before my first one. But I've had three now, and it is not painful at all. I have one before every anual exam to monitor fibroids. There is absolutely no pain. They use kind of a wand with a plastic sheath cover. To me it feels like there is barely any insertion, and I wander how they see everthing they do. You have nothing to worry about. I took the rest of the day before my first because I was nervous and upset. But was very relieved when it was all over and had been so easy.

my daughter had all 4 removed under general anesthesia(sp?). some straight some not, but no room in her mouth if they started to descend. if you get anything above novacaine, and are in good physical shape, make sure they know that. she is an excellent athlete, and they put her too far under. no tragedy ~ just took her too long to wake up and scared us all half to death. her heart/lungs were in much better condition than average.. he miscalculated. \n\nother than that she had no problem, lol. \n\none aunt is a nurse ~ she is stridently against g.a. unless absolutely  necessary. accidents do happen. \n\nchoose the least sedating option you can tolerate, but realize having all four removed at once will take quite a bit of time. g.a. may be the best option if there is a lot of anxiety. \n\nrandom thoughts....\n\ngood luck to you.. ; )

I haven't had it yet. I wanted to get it, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.\nI met a woman a couple of years ago who had had a bypass.  She was pregnant and extremely sick, as was her fetus, because she couldn't eat enough.  I was in a store and I commented on this lady's tattoo, as I have a similar one, and she said she got it when she got her surgery, and then she started crying (in the middle of a store, to a stranger) and telling me this story.\nHowever, my close friend who had it, even though she was sick the first month or so, said she would do it again in a heartbeat.  She has a lap-band.

I've been considering it alot too and I have family members that have gone through it. They all had like a week or so of down time where it seemed like it hurt pretty bad but all of them say it was worth it in the end. My grandma just had hers redone becuase she had the older implants that ended up leaking but the newest ones are only salt water so they won't hurt you nad it's ok to have kids and still nurse with them becuase now they can fit them behind the muscle which has no effect on nursing so do what you want. I say if your doing it for you then nothing else matters!

Yeah, I heard about it a couple months ago. It sounds great and I wish it had been around when my kids were a little younger. Probably would have saved a doctors visit or two, as well as some stress.

i've had it done three times.  first time was with a gun, hurt like hell, i don't recommend it, the hole wasn't clean it was more like torn through.  it never healed and i took it out 6 months later.  next two times were with a needle, again it hurt like hell but looked a LOT better as the hole was clean.  still never healed (turns out i'm allergic to the rings they put in) and took it out for good after 1 year.  i loved having it and really wish it would have healed as i would still have it if it had.  but it does hurt like hell.

I had the uvula and most of the soft pallet removed - my deviated spetum worked on. The recovery was rough and took about a week before I could eat solids again. Before the surgery my wife and I could not sleep inthe same room together. Now I still snore and we sleep head to foot but its worth it. I only sore loud when i drink or when Im super tired .... \n\nProblems hmm thats funny - I cant chug a beer any more it foams and comes out my nose.  Some times I'll gag on salavia - Not sure why but I did nt do that before the surgery.

Not for awhile.... be careful, I ended up having 3 breast surgeries due to complications.... I was lifting box's and 1 popped, another shifted under my arm , and another got a hole in it... it was an awful experience so just be careful...

Do you mean an ultrasound? I have had it done plenty of times it's not bit deal. Now, if they are going to do an intravaginal ultrasound that can be a little uncomfortable but just try to relax and it will be over soon. Good luck. If it's just an x-ray or MRI no big deal either. Unless it is a closed MRI I am closterphobic so it was hard for me.
