Hi Tinka,

I’ve had a Hy-Co-Sy and agree with Mel’s description.

I was advised to take some painkillers a couple of hours beforehand (which I did) and I didn’t find the procedure itself painful. I was told I might experience some shoulder pain afterwards and I did (about 1-2 hours later) – it wasn’t too terrible and apparently this isn’t uncommon and is due to bubbles in the contrast agent (bubbly water) accumulating there.

I was really nervous – I remember having clammy hands in the waiting room – but it actually wasn’t as bad as it sounds. I hope your experience is similar…The staff told me that everyone is nervous, and I reckon that would be true! Good luck! :luck:
