Hi There San-Dee. I think you have used the right term - barbaric. I am not sure why the radiological procedures all seem to involve considerable pain and anxiety. I am having the scintigraphy and hook wire as part of my op on the 15th. I cannot understand why they will not provide adequate pain management as part of their plans. Any suggestion I have made in the past has been met with jokes at best and derision at worst. Even the BCNs and surgeon who are quite concerned with your comfort during and after op seem to accept this. Does anyone have any ideas about why we have to put up with this?
