Lillian, I have been on Demerol for 5 years. You should see the looks and comments I get from other doctors and nurses, they are stunned to believe that I have been on Demerol for so long.. You know if they just read up on pain management they would realize its not a big deal.. Some doctors are still so far back in the stone age when it comes to pain management..Hugs Kimmi

Cindy, Why do you have to have a central line for the colonoscopy. I had a butterfly IV site and was given conscious sedation and remember nothing. I had a few polyps removed . They had to literally dilate my rectum and most of my colon to get thru.Needless to say I had more pain and winded up in the ER many times after that and 4 days later had to have it all done again because I began bleeding rectally and they had to go in and cautherize the sites where the polyps were removed. But my colon was very healthy besides the polyps. I would have the colonoscopy done if you are having rectal bleeding because there may be other conditions for that. I never had rectal bleeding before my colonoscopy and I have massive adhesions. It was done to rule out other conditions. I had a wonderful Gastroenterogist who has helped through these past few years. But pain releif is not easy to get you need to have one special doc. Even pain management gives me nothing to take for pain. They di! d my nerve block a week ago and won't see me again until 2 weeks. No script or anything. Go to ER for pain. I feel for you but that is the way these docs are. I have never been able to get any releif from painmanagement. I told them my doc had given me Demerol and they almost flipped out of their chair. Well good luck to you .Best wishes. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone in this fight. Lillian
