wow , so sorry you went throught that. i would be looking for another dr, if he knew you was in pain and did noting to help you than he should not be a dr. but the best outcome is no blockages and heart good CONGRATS
I have had 9 caths now, ***sig***, and the worst pain is in the groin when they insert the cath. But the pain has always been bearable. I am so sorry you had to go through this. The site will be sore for a while, but should not be anything that is a bother. If it is, call the doctor and make sure he is listening. Take care, Ally
I agree with heartflutters. . . I would get a different doctor. I've had 3 catheter ablations where they run 4 wires up into the heart, 2 on each side of the groin, and I didn't have that kind of pain. During my first ablation I was starting to have some chest pressure while they did the burning and my doctor told them to give me more meds. That's the last thing I remember of that time.
A good cardio will not only know your heart inside and out but will care about you as a whole person.
Thank you so much for the help. I am still in pain, its a little more than I like but im hoping after I take the bandage off and clean it which I got to do tonite, that some of the pain will ease up. Thank you again and yes, I am gonna get a new doctor if the problem comes up again. Thanks again.
