Getting an intraabdominal abscess punctured. You don't get sedation for that, since you need to follow the commands to they can check the progress on the CT, only the tip of the needle they shove into you has some painkiller on it.... allegedly. Which does not really matter as since they shove that thing through your skin and through your muscles and then into the abscess... there is literally no time for any painkiller to do anything anyway. I was shaking from pain.
I feel like you got screwed. Had one of those and they went in through my butt cheek, and not to the side a little, straight through the muscle.
Not only had opiates straight in the arm, got extra before the procedure, and that's scary in itself. "Mr. Shalafi! Here's more drugs! (You're gonna need it being implied.)" Young Indian doctor guided that needle in to perfection, popped and drained about a baseball worth of puss over the next day. The man was going off an X-ray, by hand! 🤌🏻 My god he was good.
Now what led up to that is the worst-pain-in-my-life story. Woke up in my hospital bed shaking and sweating, and already stoned as balls on opiates. I was in for diverticulitis. Again. Infection blossomed really nicely! I was standing up, butt naked, dripping sweat and rattling my IV when my gay nurse came in at 1:20AM. HERO. What a fucking man/nurse, best I've ever met. Hit me with more opioids and I calmed down enough to pass out.
Well I too had diverticulitis but with perforated colon. But your doc sounds way nicer than mine.
