[quote=Anonymous]Anyone else have trouble with them or any medical providers who are used to patients having issues? It's not ticklishness per se, as there's no laughing or anything, but just an extreme urge to tense every muscle in the belly and barely breathe, even when reminded. That means the exam takes even longer as the better doctors will then go over every area mutliple times, ask if everything is ok etc because they can't distinguish pain from a lack of cooperation. Don't know what to say to 'is everything ok' questions because the true response is 'yes - just can't stand having my belly touched.' Thoughts on how to handle? I don't imagine this is common outside of pediatrics.[/quote]
