Right section? I hope.
So, I'm scheduled for a CT scan on Friday. We're checking out my TI. My doc ordered oral and rectal contrast. I've no problem with the oral, but the rectal is a different story. I've had rectal contrast before, and it was HORRIBLE! Needless to say, it was uncomfortable, but it was also painful. Like the 'I was in tears' kind of pain.
I'm afraid that if I wimp out and say no to the rectal the scan might not be clear enough, and a)it will have to be redone b)my insurance won't pay for the first one. I've had multiple scans of my TI before with just oral, and the scans were just fine.
I guess that I'm just lost on whether or not I should go through with it. Will the Ct techs call the whole thing off if I don't do rectal, or will they let me do just oral?
Anyone have a similar experience? If so, please help!
