This is my first post on this Forum.
I had my biopsy in June/13 - I didn't ask about sedation, and they didn't offer. Next time I'll know better. Although the procedure isn't pleasant - felt like they were sticking a baseball bat up the poopdeck- it's not all that terrible. The doc said he'd heard that each snip gets more painful, but I didn't feel any great difference. The doc was a baseball fan, and so am I, so we "talked baseball" while he snipped. Took only 8 snips - (Medicare in British Columbia is always looking for ways to save money).
Not much post-biopsy discomfort or bleeding. But even though I'd taken a 1000mg Cipro beforehand, I developed an e-coli infection within a day or two of the procedure, and had to be hospitalized for 4 days. That was no fun at all. If you feel really lousy a day or two after your biopsy, monitor your temperature and get to a hospital if it goes up too high.
Good luck with your results.
Welcome to HW. What were the results of your biopsy. Hopefully negative but, if positive, pull up a chair and sit a spell (as we say in the South).
