bravo ph testing, anyone?

I am interested in hearing about anyone's experiences with the bravo ph tests. particularly if you have had problems with pain from the probe, and how long it took for the probe to release from your chest. i had one placed last week, and have had quite a bit of pain ever since. i've contacted my doctor, but he's basically told me to tough it out. oh, and to eat some bread to see if that would knock it out.

now i'm curious to know how long it stays there before i should be concerned, and the severity of the pain. he keeps telling me he has only had to remove one, which makes me feel...well, a bit wimpy. and that he wants to keep his track record of not having to remove more than one.

but hey, it hurts.

so how did it go for you?
