hysterosonogram--pain

[Guest guest]

I had a Hysterscope, HSG and a second DNC done on 11-10. Is it normal

routine to have local Anesthesia for these three surgeries. Or is it just

mainly for the DNC. i guess I'll be able to ask my doctor when I go on 12-7.

At first when i spoke with my doctor before my surgery he didn't even know

nothing about the DNC or the HSG I had to remind him that was what he was

doing because all he mentioned to the Anesthesiologist was the hysterscopy,

then when I brought up the DNC he took my chart in the hall and came back and

said your right we are doing the HSG and another DNC if need be. To make

sure the uterus was empty from the last DNC in January. I believe the only

reason that he wasn't sure what he was doing was because he took my regular

doctors cases for that week due to my doctor going on vacation. But all in

all this lack of communication thing is ridiculous. If I wouldn't have spoke

up he wouldn't have read my chart completely and would have only did the

Hysterscopy. I think I need to seek a second opinion. But it is hard to

find someone in this area to take me as a new patient without insurance. I

cancelled my insurance last year right before I found out I was exspecting

because it was too expensive.

I called another doctor that I heard was really good here and explained to

the nurse on the phone my situation and she told me he charges $235 for the

first visit. That is crazy, I don't have that kind of money right now, and

probably won't for a while until at least after the holidays. But I really

do think these doctors that I have been seeing have way too many patients

than they can handle. I don't see how they keep up.

I'm due for a hysterosonogram on Dec. 7 and since they put a catheter

in your cervix, wouldn't this be painful? Does anyone take anything

for this? Or, am I being a wus? Thanks, .
