Prior to the procedure I was told that I will not need pain relief.I trusted the clinician and I didn't think anything. This was the most traumatic experience I've ever had in my entire life. It was that bad that I was clenching my jaw & the bed so hard! My whole body was uncontrollably shaking from the pain and shock.I have been non stop crying, This was so traumaticI can't believe what I have just gone through. I don't know what to do because I cannot go through that again.
