SI injection confusion
Posted , 6 users are following.
i’ve talked to the pre-op nurse about remaining completely covered during the procedure. Sh assured me i will. I’m supposed to be given versed but i know it’s intended to cause amnesia and therefore they could have me completely exposed and i would never know the difference. Another choice is to go without and insure my modesty is kept intact. The last option is to completely cancel. I am truly horrified my dr will see the upper part of the crack and my humiliation will be so great i won’t be able to ever look at him again and that could cause a problem if i need more injections. This dr is the only pain mgmt dr in my network. At this point i’m leaning toward cancelling

I don't know what your situation is. I'm new to this discussion. At the risk of coming off as an interloper, your own words said "they could have me completely exposed and I would never know the difference." If you never know the difference, what difference does it make? There's an old saying, "ignorance is bliss." It's a saying for a reason - it has some validity. If you need a procedure, don't let vanity get in the way. Besides, on the other hand, you might be completely covered, as he pre-op nurse said you will.

its not an issue of vanity. its an issue of true horrors in my past. its the same reason I don't do well woman exams and will never have a colonoscopy. ignorance isn't always bliss. just thinking they might have gone too low with my pants will bring great humiliation.

You need to just get over that, the Dr. is a professional, and won't be looking at your crack, he'll be looking at the xray and spot to put the injection.

I don't care if the doctor is the pope. and don't tell me to just get over it. I've been trying to for 50 yrs. a man is a man is a man.

ok got two injections injections instead of one. got the versed but felt every needle and was over exposed in my opinion, Made it clear that I didn't want him back in the room before leaving. he came anyway. I ignored him. also made it clear that I am severing the relationship with him. no there aren't any female pain management drs. just like having my trapeziectomy, I am so very sorry I had this done. I felt every needle I

I am so sorry that you had such a miserable time of it. It sounds like the doctor has a lousy bedside manner. I know that the whole experience was bad but you didn't say if you had any good results from it.
