After The Biopsy.....

[1morething]

Is it normal to not feel well after the biopsy. I had mine done on Wednesday and I'm still not feeling well today. I have tenderness in my belly, sore in my lower back and I'm just not feeling energetic like I used to

thanks

The anethesia might have been difficult for you. If the doctors did not tell you about any difficulties during the proceedure, a normal biopsy should not make you sore. Perhaps a slight sore throat.

Although, anytime your have an invasive proceedure there are risks that I'm sure you sign some paper work indicating the possibilities.

I hope you feel better soon and get some rest over the weekend. But, it you have any bleeding or severe cramping, call your doctor.

The anesthesia was difficult, I was so nauseous and throwing up. I guess I just need to rest.

I had a severe gut ache the day of my biopsy, but no blood or vomiting etc. The next day I felt better but later had the worst occular migraine in my 20 or more year history of migraines. The visual was so bad and caused a partial black out in my eye. I was so scared I called a nurse friend. She came and monitored my blood pressure and pulse for awhile. I think it was a reaction to the drugs. We are in a weakened state of health, it does not take much to upset the "apple cart".

Hi Rachel:

No, it is not normal to still feel bad so long after your endoscopy. I think you should call your doctor right away and describe your symptoms. I was never even unconscious during my endoscopy or colonoscopy, I was eating 1 hour later, and was exercising later that day in the early evening. I was back at work less than 24 hours later. You should not feel tenderness in your belly from an endoscopy so please call your doctor. I am sure you signed a release - find that piece of paper because it always provides directions about what to do if something very strange like this occurs. Good luck - I hope everything is okay! Let us know what happened.

Did you go gluten free after the endosopy? If so thats why you are feeling yucky. It takes a while for you body to adjust.
