I'm so sorry that I didn't see your post earlier!!

Totie gave you a VERY good description of an UltraSound. I JUST had one a few weeks ago and it is ABSOLUTELY PAINLESS.

I will add that they asked me to hold my breath every time that they took a picture of a particular area. You ONLY hold your breath for maybe 5 seconds at a time.

It will be a breeze for you!!!

Looking forward once again to your update.

Good Luck my Friend.....Sherry

An ultrasound is very easy & painless. I had about 30 ot them done in various parts of my body in my lifetime. They put a gel like (cold) substance on the area they are wanting to scan. They use a device (like a computer mouse) to scan over the area that will show on a screen what is happening in that area, blood flow, if there are any abnormalities like cyst, tumor, or anything that should not be there, it will show fluid build up, inflammation. (At least mine did). If you have seen the weather on Doppler radar on TV, it looks something like that on the screen. I did have to have a vascular surgeon because the tumor I had removed was underneath the aorta in my abdominal area. If it was not for the ultrasounds I had done they would have never found out my issues.
