I am having my 5th surgery next Wed (Oct 4th). This time, however, I will be awake for part of it. It is called "Conscious Pain Mapping." It is supposed to help the doctor locate exactly where the pain is. They will poke around and ask me if it hurts and from 1 to 10 how much. I think this is a good idea for anyone who has undergone multiple laps and still is in pain. I think it will help in locating where it hurts better. Ask your doc about it. I think it sounds like a wonderfully brilliant thing. -----Original Message----- From: Melody <anonymous@obgyn.net> To: Multiple recipients of list ENDO <anonymous@obgyn.net> Date: Tuesday, September 26, 2000 6:53 PM Subject: Looking for help
