Well just thought I'd follow up and let you folks know how my colonoscopy went -- in a nutshell, it was incomplete, so I'm pretty bummed.

I went in, they put the IV in and administered Versed and Fentanyl, both of which I've had for other conscious sedation procedures before, so I was feeling pretty comfortable at that point. I largely conked out due to the sedative and didn't feel...

Hi all, I'm getting a colonoscopy this week to get checked out for any underlying causes of my fissure and also because of abdominal pains. I've had internal hemorrhoids for a while (years) and the doctor who is doing the colonoscopy says that while he's "in there" he can also do rubber band litigation on one or two of the hemorrhoids.

Has anyone here had hemorrhoids band...

Hi all,

I just got two Botox injections today and my CRS did it without sedating me. All she did was put some topical analgesic around the area first. It wasn't done in an operating room, either, just in the doctor's office.

I did some reading through the archives and this seems atypical. It seems that most people were sedated for the procedure and had it done in t...

After about a week of taking diltiazem, I've started to feel a little funny a few hours after applying it. Mainly, I feel a little hot and edgy. Has anyone else experienced this?

I don't think I'm putting too much but, just in case, I'll start using less. I was told to take a "pea-sized" amount, so I basically put a thin coat on the top part a finger cot that I visualize i...
