Pain & Pain Management - March 2007

My surgery involves getting a cyst removed from my rib. I'm a little nervous about pain when inserting the iv and the pain afterwards. Maybe some professional advice or suggestions could help. I also want to know how the anesthesia works. Any explanations are welcome. Thanks!

I know I have been on many types of medications, this past year. I was struck by a SUV while walking across the street,m a year ago, and I have been on so many medications, and I have to say this one Muscle Relaxer, Zanaflex. It didn't help with my muscles, and since I was already in pain and depressed about getting rid of that and dealing with three deaths in my family, moving, getting married, ready to just take off! The Zanaflex made me feel so weird, so depressed, and tired but unable to sleep due to the weird feelings. I know now, I will never take it again! As I have been on most of the pain and muscle relaxers, Zanaflex is the WORSE!

still having severe chest pain, thought I had bacterial or viral infection but when went to emergency room they said i had no infections in the blood stream? Yet i know i had both a yeast/and urinary tract infection at the time. Does all blood tests catch all infections? or do they just do a test on one or two?
