I worry i may get reckless and serioisly injure myself by accident, or a random !


Question: I worry i may get reckless and serioisly injure myself by accident, or a random disease or pain will occur?
My friend recently broke his arm badly and he said he was put on anasthetic. He said he could feel the cold sensation running up his arm (i am very squeamish) and he felt dizzy. He was knocked out and when he woke, he found red spots on his broken arm. Fair enough, it didnt hurt for him. When my mum said he had tubes inserted into his mouth and into his lungs, i started to freak out, wondering if the same would happen to me. Thats why i worry of pain in my body - incase i need an operation. I know its silly. Can anyone give me some reassurance? Thx.

Answers:

He went to surgery. In order to have surgery, they have to start an IV to give the medication. They also have to use a small tube down the throat so you can breathe and they monitor the patient the entire time during the surgery. Your friend couldn't feel it because he was under anesthesia..which is like being asleep only you don't remember anything.

Don't be scared of an operation when you don't have to have one!

Everyone is nervous when they have surgery. I've had to have quite a few...double jaw surgery, an ovarian cyst and a ruptured appendix...to name a few. I didn't enjoy, it was uncomfortable to wake up from these things...but it had to be done. They were necessary surgeries and I would have died from two of those situations if I hadn't had the surgery.

don't worry about something that you don't have to deal with right now.

If a time comes where you need surgery, tell them you're scared. I did. The nurses and doctor were very cool about it.

As far as worrying about pain in your body...that happens, especially as you get older. I have multiple sclerosis. One of the things I have to deal with every day is pain. But, it's there so I can't not deal with it...I don't have a choice. For me, medication isn't an option so I find other ways to handle it. But I don't stress about it...I just handle things as they come along.

Don't worry. Focus on the positive things around you.



fear of pain:algophobia. first time i heard this phrase i was like,who doesn't FEAR pain? but the undertanding is the condition is diagnosed as when the person gets so afraid of pain that he even "creates" pain just to fear them. that is he imagines what "might happen" and fears for the pain in the imagination. number one therapy is know that if it aint there,it doesn't hurt. 2.avoid being too nervous. 3.see a psychiatrist if it persists.

when u get tubes down ur throat and something serious, ur gunna be sooo drugged up and probably get put to sleep and u wont feel any pain until u wake up after the doctors do their thing...in other words, wait till you have to get a catheter and have some real f*ckn problems
