Continuing “Un-explained Event” – Urethra Pain

I have always feared being that anomaly suffering from something, where tests and scans brought no conclusive results yet the pain was persistent. Medicine has come a long way, but seems very barberic in a trial and error sense. Still a lot of things about the body that are un-known. If you are having pain that cannot be determined by the usual methods, you become atypical.
I did not have a good experience with my cystoscopy. I was already fearful to have the procedure performed with the pain I was already experiencing. I opted to include nitrous oxide so there would be no pain. I am not sure if the nurse was new or not, but she turned on the machine, gave no instructions, and then stood there looking at her phone. She then asked if I was ready, after a few minutes, I explained that I was waiting on you to instruct me. I began to take the nitrous, but I am not sure how long I was under. It seemed as though the doctor walked in shortly after, but I am not sure if it was the effects of the gas that made the time go buy. It was really painful for me, the doctor said when he reached the pelvic muscle, it was extremely tight, which would make sense because of the normal pain, but it possibly could be because I was not given enough nitrous. I will definitely be looking for a second opinion. I am thinking of one doctor in the Medical Center. I really appreciate the feedback. I hope to update on my progress and any new treatments that I find.

Thanks, and I too had one awful experience with my first cystoscopy, very painful and just some lidocaine.
The second one was also painful but possibly due to a better skilled urologist not quite as bad. I had significantly different reports from each although a year passed between the two procedures. I’m still in search of either an accurate answer and cure or healing. Thanks again for sharing your experience.
