The Vaginal Ultrasound was very uncomfortable.  The Russian born nurse technician explained the procedure and tried to be gentle.  However, the device she used was  NOT rotated slowly enough. I asked her several times to slow down. And she did.  I suffered cramping and profuse bleeding afterwards the rest of the day.    I lied down at home with a heating pad on my abdomen, also taking the maximum dosage of Tylenol.  I was worried & almost phoned ER.  I rested until supper time.  Cramping pain prevented me from sleeping through the night despite my meds.   Please forward this message to Dr. Carmen Griza, my Internist, who ordered this ultrasound.  Dr. Griza can be reached at: North Suburban Family Medicine  150 N. River Road Suite 310 Des Plaines IL 60016  Thank you.  Danuta Lusinski  DOB  July 4, 1948
