Hi gang,
Was just wondering, I just got my reminder I need to go in for a colonoscopy. The last one did not go well and the doc advised that instead of using the demerol and versed like they did last time(even though I don't remember due to Versed, he said I writhed in pain and did not tolerate the procedure well.)
He said this time I probably need anesthesia. He thinks my using chronic pain meds has altered my pain threshold or perception but he said I was writhing so much it made it difficult for him to do the exam.
Was wondering if anyone else using daily meds for chronic pain ever had problem with a colonoscopy and you if you did, what did you do.
I have never had anesthesia before and am a bit concerned.
Thanks, Diandra
