My hubby had one last year and said it's just a bit uncomfortable but not painful, and he soon got over it.

Hope all goes well for you hun.

I had one a few months ago, Julia, and it was uncomfortable but quickly over. Ask for a sedative beforehand. Good luck. BC XX

and Good Luck to you also, Blue Moon. BC XX

Never had one but my best wishes to you Julia and you too Blue Moon.

Thanks to you all for (almost) putting my mind at rest. I can't stand the thought of more pain. Since last Easter, I have been rushed into hospital, dosed on morphine, had drips, canulas and catheters , every few weeks. Finally had Gall Bladder out in February, and things only just beginning to settle down. When 'coming' round after op. I had a heart attack, hence the angiogram. During last year I also had a barium enema, Colonoscopy and a Sigmoidoscopy. I felt everything despite being given Pethadine.
So, as you can see, not relishing the angiogram.
I thought this thread would have attracted Eldrick and Keith, but perhaps Eldrick is burning Heather again, and Keith is giving them mayhem in the 'Pool
Once again, many thanks

Mac, I did say almost, but please don't scare me

Mac - I'm sick of all these needles, not because I am scared about having them, but my arms go black and blue, and I can still feel where they put in the cannula in my arm, way back in February, if I happen to rub it.
Has my ECG and Heart Scan in April

No Mac, you've not scared me. I've never had heart trouble all my life, and it doesn't run in the family. And yes, I know there has to be a first time for everything. It was as a result of the Gall Bladder operation.

its bit uncomfortable but you will be ok

Eldrick is away at the moment on business.

My OH has had one of those, and it is a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt. You'll be fine, it's nothing like the stuff you've already had done.
