Anything related with my eyes! I hope I do not have anything to do with them. I don't even like to drop meds in them when needed.

My father's about to have cataract surgery. Separate surgeries on each eyeball. Yeah, that's annoying to think about.

The thing that would scare me most is having a test with contrast dye they say there are ways to do this when allergic but after almost dying from anaphylactic shock it makes me think twice about it.

^^ I had a reaction to the contrast dye in an IVP test. I never have contrast dyes anymore, they don't take the chance. Even when I get a cortisone shot in my knee, they inject air instead of dye.

I’m really claustrophobic and Have had 3 MRIs after an auto accident. I had major panic attacks during the first one. After that, was sedated for the next two.

Skin Grafts (actually it's the donor site that's the painful part)

Ears check, because I'm deaf. Sometimes I have earaches, but I prefer to wear hearing aides to hear, than no wear theses but no hear. When I was teen (I'm 29), I remembered that medical procedures about ear was painful and very unpleasant. Still today I fear when I think about ear medical... and actually I have ear ache.

I'll add something that was new to me. All my previous colonoscopies were done under Demerol and Versed. In Jan. of this year they did it under Propofol. I woke up very quickly, but I was foggy for 3 days, post scoping. I tried to drive on day 3 and realized that I still had no business on the road. I guess I don't have a normal reaction to Propofol. I will insist on the old sedative for future scopings.

After having Demerol/ Versed, I was groggy/sleepy for the rest of the day, but next day I was fine; not so with Propofol.

When I was young, up to about the age of 10, the dr who used to examine me at school was of the opinion that my foreskin was tight and suggested I should be circumcised. I was referred to a specialist on the first occasion, who did not feel circumcision was required. I was examined by the same doctor 3 more times and she still was insistent I had a tight foreskin. By the time I saw her for the last time, I was terrified of being examined by her and of her suggesting I be cut. I was never circumcised, but I was always conscious in subsequent exams about the dr’s opinion with regards my foreskin if they examined and retracted it.

I am afraid and embarrassed of several procedures, like an anescopy see a doctor and a nurse inserting a tube in my anus, procedures that involve anesthesia where I am going to be unconscious enquato doctors cut me and pontenham.

sat down with me a few days, I had to take an injection in the butt and the breasts took me behind a curtain and lowered all my clothes, almost I stand erect.

I have read a few posts on Zity saying that Trans Vag Ultrasound is very painful but what scared me, I think I would be the only one saying that.

Nobody would believe but honestly, enema was very scary for me. Embarrassing and painful, hence scary.

Recently I was having severe stomach pain and I was plugged up. I had nausea, my appetite was almost nil since 2 days.

So the doctor suggested that I should get an enema. I was very anxious. I had another appointment too so thought of getting it done in the hospital itself.

The whole procedure was painful. Right from tube being inserted to the fluid being released. It was so crampy in my stomach. I felt as if all the water of the world was being put in my stomach. The nurse was slowly massaging my stomach but it wasn't helping.

But after all of it was done. I could actually feel better. My pain went away soon. Though my stomach was upset and my bottom was sore that day.

No offence to those who enjoy enemas. I see there is a separate section on Zity.

But for me I would not like to have enema ever again in my life. It was a scary experience and yes I am scared of it.

I have had trans vag ultrasound too. Though it is more embarrassing but enema is way more painful.

Never again. It was a nightmare.

A Root canal treatment at the dentist... Autsch!

Root canal is actually not that bad. I have had one, and I was terrified of it, but it really was not horrible. I think they have better techniques now than they used to. It takes less time, too. I was out of there in about an hour and a half. I hear that people used to have to go back a second day.

When I had my aortic aneurysm repaired I was awake. I was also HEAVILY sedated. Each time they flushed my abdomen I felt the cold saline solution.

After the surgery, I was in the recovery area and the R.N. asked me if I was in pain. I had no pain from the 2 surgical sites, but I had back pain that was horrible. I told her about my back and she said that back pain was the most common complaint they see post-op. Laying on a hard surgery table for up to 2 hrs. awake, plays hell with your spinal column. She gave me Demerol IV to help with the back pain.

A couple days later, my hemoglobin was down to 8 (normal is 13-14) indicating there was bleeding inside. The same surgeon took me down to ultra sound and while the tech. showed him the bleeding femoral artery on screen, he took a cardiac type needle and shoved it into the area. He injected thrombin to help with clotting. I saw the huge needle and was preparing for excruciating pain, but it never came. He injected xylocaine in the skin and soft tissue and I never felt the long needle inserted.

The thrombin didn't work and I told him to take me back to the O.R. and FIX the bleeder; middle of the night. Again, they used Xylocaine injections in my lower abdomen, cut open a long incision and repaired the bleeder, all sedated but awake. To close the incision, they used staples and I didn't feel them being inserted.

I do not know if FEAR is quite the word that I would use; therefore, I will go with ANXIOUS. I have not had either procedure done.

1. Catheter

2. Cystoscopy

Additionally, I have notice that a colonoscopy appears frequently in many responses. I had my second colonoscopy done this past January ... unsedated! Very doable! Only twice did I feel intense pressure ... but no pain.

I once had an arterial blood draw and they suck a needle into my wrist between the tendons all the way down to the bone. The pain was intense and the tech pretty much lied to me about the procedure. I almost punched him with my other arm. Man it hurt

Being relatively healthy I cannot account to any procedures firsthand, however from my experience working in the medical field, the procedure that I most fear is a urinary catheter. I’ve had grown men scream and cry when placing one and plus your awake and there’s no numbing it.

Au contraire.

It is common to use a syringe (without the needle) to inject a numbing gel into the urethra a couple of minutes before inserting the catheter.

Besides, if it wasn't such an enjoyable procedure, we wouldn't have so many members here doing it for fun.

OUCH!! I've had a few, always w/ freezing but on one, I think he stuck the needle outside of a frozen area. When it hit the vein or artery or whatever the heck it was, it hurt like hell. I instinctively jerked my hand and the needle went flying. So, I can sympathize.

A breast biopsy. Thank God mine was benign, but the mental "what ifs" and uncertainties I experienced waiting for the biopsy results after a week of two mammograms and an ultrasound – all proving inconclusive – also were very difficult on my husband and our girls. I am more sensitive now to women and their families who have and are going through this.

I totally understand. A year ago, I had to have an endometrial biopsy. Thankfully, there were no cancer cells in the (poor) sample they got,but it was mental hell going through it.

The things I am most afraid of are MRIs because of claustrophobia. Have to be sedated for that. Otherwise, nothing else I’ve ever had has been too bad. I’ve seen chest tubes put in, and they don’t look too fun. I’d probably need some heavy stuff for that.

Why not just close your eyes or wear a blindfold?

With your eyes closed you don't know if the walls of the MRI or the sky is in front of your face.

In real life, several medical procedures would worry me. It's not fear but anxiety and worry.

Examples are surgery involving heart, brain lever or almost any other organ. I'm also terrified to think about any prostate or UTI related surgeries, not just because of what would be done to me but also the embarrassment it would bring during the recovery period.

In play exams, I'm fearful of anything involving needles and blood. Even a catheter insertion since I have never experienced one and always feel like the catheter is unnecessarily large compared to anatomy.

Blood gas bleeds are painful, and I have never been offered any freezing or help with the pain of it in the UK.

the procedure that I most fear is a urinary catheter. I’ve had grown men scream and cry when placing one and plus your awake and there’s no numbing it.

I've had it done to me after an operation and in all honesty there was nothing much to it, though I was pretty much exhausted at the time.

Then, not that long ago I've had it done during a play exam. And frankly there was no reason to scream and cry, it was instead quite pleasurable.

Besides, if it wasn't such an enjoyable procedure, we wouldn't have so many members here doing it for fun.

Other than a bone marrow biopsy which, knock on wood I'll never need, for now it's putting in a urinary catheter. Just taking a small sample at my penile tip with a swab was almost excruciatingly stinging. Pushing a whole catheter in might make me pass out if it felt the same way. However with some local anesthetic gel, it might be somewhere between tolerable and pleasurable, as the whole notion of feeling a catheter present in my penis SOUNDS like it would be very erotic. In fact I've frequently had pleasant fantasies of taking and holding a large enema while the tube was in my penis, and there are certainly enough men here that say that it's something they enjoy. My only hesitation other than UTI risk is actually getting the catheter inserted in the first place. I enjoy taking enemas as a sub, and having the Domme give me one with a rubber catheter in my penis would add another element of submission to her enema.

Getting the bill...

I also hate the MRI.I actually had them pull me out the first time and give me a xanax. I've had it done several times since and do put a towel over my eyes then once I get in I look out the end which is open. I never imagined I wouldn't like it.
