Help and advice...pain a week after wada

Thu, 11/22/2007 - 18:47
So I am getting tested for brain surgery and recently had my WADA test. I had it last Friday so it hasn't quite been a week yet but I feel as though I should be feeling better and I am not. As a matter of fact I am feeling quite awful. I am pretty sure they hit a nerve in my hip (they think so too) I have a lot of pain in my right hip and can't walk through a store without coming home in severe pain. My bruise and swelling in the area has gone down but is still sore and they told me it should have gone down by now. I guess I am wondering is this normal???? Sometimes it even feels like it hmmm twitches. I am not sleeping at all cause I am in a lot of pain mostly cause of my hip however when I stand up I have pain in the area where they put the catheter in as well(advil is not helping. This in turn is causing more seizures. Help me!!! Is this normal???? I have rested ...taken a week off work. Done the whole deal. I need to get back to work before I lose my job! I figured I would give it a week it's now almost a week. Anyone have any ideas?? Is this normal?? Am i freaking out for no reason (very possible)?? Thanks in advance for any advice or help. Sassy

I recently had a wada test.......May 23 08"......have just a minor pain in the going up the back of my upper leg....at first I thought it was from just lying around cuz I work out a lot......then after working out I thought it was from that. It's now nearing the end of June and I still have it on/off depending how I move. Almost like a toothache. So hang in there the pain may take awile to heal. Do what they ask in a hospital and keep and diary it will help......pain level from 1-10.....3 times a day. I also had a back operation so I do have an idea what your referring to.....can drive ya nutz....take care
