Central Daylight Time Subj: [QUAD-L] colonoscopy Hi all, I'm scheduled for this test & was hoping someone could share their experiences with me. I'm most concerned with A.D. Anyone have this happen? I'm going in the hospital for the procedure & out when they're finished. The professional I talked with didn't seem to have much knowledge of a quadriplegic and the office conversation was quick. He asked me why I was taking drugs like ultram & percocet? I answered spasms & they're painful, short to the point. Any feedback would be appreciated.
