I went for a fibroscan today, the chap doing it said that this is a painless scan. I however found it extremely sore and every time it pulsed it hurt more and more. He also asked me if I’d eaten within two hours and seemed extremely surprised when I said no. Am I just being paranoid or has anyone else experienced this?
