We understand! We have all been there at some point and know how difficult treatment can be. We have all had our ups and downs and battles with the pain. Please understand you do not have to ever apologize for your feelings, especially here on the forum where we understand what you are going thru.
When I first had the feeding tube placed I felt like I had been punched in the stomach and then hit by a car and backed over too. It was terrible for about the first few days then I began to feel better. I was kept overnight in the hospital for the pain when I first got the peg. If your tube still hurts as much tomorrow, call and get an emergency appointment with the gastro doc who placed it. It needs to be checked for tightness and to make sure you dont have granulation or another reason for the pain.
Hope you feel better very soon!!!
