Hi Everyone. Steve's peg went in today and he is in extreme pain tonight. Is this normal? I would imagine that it would be painful and from everything I've read it should be painful but I just want to check he isn't in more pain than he should be. How did everyone else find the PEG and how long did the pain last? Thanks all in advance for your help.
