Ok ladies, and gentlemen, if there are any in this thread. Who's had the "fine needle aspiration biopsy?"
Honestly, how was it? Did you do it with or without a numbing agent? I have to admit, I'm a little nervous. I know everyones pain tolerance is different so something like this is probably pretty hard to gauge.
I had a Electromyogram once a couple of years ago for some neck and carpel tunnel issues, and that was absolutely awful. AWFUL! OMGosh, I don't think you could pay me to do that again. And at first I thought I'd be ok with the biopsy, 2 nodules, 2 pricks, in and out. BUT, I just read that they may prick you 3 or 4 times to ensure a good sample. So now I'm thinking, O.M.G. EIGHT. TIMES. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I know everyone has their own issues. But do you ever think why me? I try not to go there, and most days don't play the "whoa is me card." But sometimes, I just feel like I've really been given a crap hand. I know, I know, it could always be worse. But I worry about my future sometimes, I'm not even 40 and I have a mound of "little issues" and I wonder what it's gonna be like in 10 or 20 more years when all these little issues aren't so little anymore.
