I hope that you don't think that I wasn't doubting you. I'm wasn't / am not. I was hopeful that you might relay a bit more info, but don't want to pry, about how your procedure(s) went. I've heard a number of people who experience quite a bit of pain during and following procedures.

The days afterward can be quite discomforting to painful. If the pain doesn't subside within 3-7 days afterward (because there can be a temp. increase in symptoms), it's also something that needs to be brought to the doc's attention.
