I went in to see about getting some hemorrhoids removed after I was told I had several and needed to get them removed. I went in to see the surgeon and he said they would remove the internal ones, but the outer ones were not hemorroids, they were skin tags and he would not remove them because it is too painful. Anyway, they removed the internal hemorrhoids, but the reason I went in didn't get better from their removal. I was also told internal hemorrhoid removal was painless and I did not get any sedation for that procedure. Long story short, it was AWFUL. The nurse finally told the doc he had to stop. My blood pressure spiked and I was shaking the pain was so bad. Maybe most people don't have nerve endings in the area he was removing from, but I, apparently, do. It felt like the bowel was spasming each time he banded one (he did five) and after each one it was spasm on top of the previous spasm and it never relaxed. Well, I guess it finally did at some point after the two large percocet....... It hasn't even been a year yet and I think the ones he removed are back. Fat lot of good that did. If I have to have them removed again, there WILL be sedation. And that is that.
So, has anyone else had this done and had to have it done without sedation? Did it cause you a lot of pain even though we supposedly don't have nerve endings in the colon?
