Hi
I am due to have a conoloscopy and a TI biopsy on Wednesday - in truth, I am not concerned that I am suffering from anything serious and was told it would be to search for Chron's disease.
That said, I have some major issues:
1) Needles - I am SEVERELY needle phobic - I've been told that GA for a conoloscopy is a no go - therefore, I would be aware of the staff putting the needle in my hand/arm. I just cannot cope with this.
2) Pain/Discomfort - I do not want to have a Conoloscopy and be aware of the overall procedure. I do not want any type of discomfort - now since a GA is not possible, I'm not left with too many options here.
3) Post Op Pain - I'm not too concerned about this to be honest.
4) Family - I'm wary of upsetting my family if I opt out of the procedure - I have to put my own welfare/feelings first.
Can anyone suggest anything for me?
Thanks
Robin
