 Posted: 08/13/05 - 02:00 Post subject: Painful Ultrasound |
  |
|
Hello,
I am 39 and for the past few years I am feeling pain in my abdominal area. Every doctor I visit says it is gallbladder, so I went to do ultrasound.
This was the most painful experience in my life!!! I am never doing it again. NEVER! I cried because of pain while she did ultrasound on me. And besides all, she found nothing???!!! Did anyone else have the same experience?

Hey there,
My ultrasound was also quite painful... but I had some more painful experiences in my life.
I don’t know what to tell you considering pain, but I think there are some more techniques to reveal gallbladder problems. If the abdominal pain is still there, try talking to your doctor again and try some other options.
Best wishes.

| I too have just had an ultrasound scan due to abdominal pain around my appendix and having discomfort whilst lying on my right hand side. I have never felt pain like it. I almost collapsed following the exam and it brought tears streaming from my eyes. The doctor said that there was nothing visible but when the pain had settled, I found I could lie on my right hand side without the same level of discomfort so maybe something was moved. |

Luckily, I had my ultrasound while I was on morphine. When they started it, though, the morphine had worn off and it hurt very badly. When you have abdominal pain that hurts more when pressed, the last thing you want is people pressing on it  |

| I recently had an abdominal ultrasound to get a look at my pancreas. The only way i could describe the pain i was in from it is that it felt like i was being sliced open while awake. It was very painful and disturbing. |

Sorry about your painful ultrasound, i do believe ( tech says its because " quote everything you have is hidden under your ribcage" unquote. i just had an ultrasound this morning, & i have to say it was very painful, thats why i'm posting, i was wondering if all ultrasounds are painful or if it was just me, obviously, its common to feel much discomfort & pain from the posts i am reading, after the ultrasound was over ( about 20 minutes of greuling pain) i walked out feeling AWFUL! I told my boyfriend , the ultrasound was very painful, he stated he had one recently and his didnt bother him, ( maybe because he is older than i , they went a little easier on him) well i thought the tech was having a bad morning & was taking it out on my entire ab area, my goodness, i would have never guessed it would be soooo painful, but anyway, YES THEY ARE PAINFUL!,,,,,,,,,,,, i do not look foward to ever having another one. ( i was thinking to myself as i was being tortured, my goodness, do pregant women & their babies suffer through this as well? ( i am middle aged, so i do not know all the updated procedures associated with pregancy these days, but isnt this the same test they give to pregant women to tell the baby's sex?
