"Hysteroscopy with no pain relief"

I was told to take 2 paracetamol before I attended the appointment as I would only feel mild discomfort. The person who did the procedure struggled to firstly get the camera in place & then spent ages trying to take a biopsy. In fact she was at the point of giving up when she managed to get a small sample. By this time I felt sick & dizzy, I had to be taken into a side room until I was well enough to leave. I was bleeding fairly heavily by this time & had to go sit in my car for half an hour until I was fit enough to drive home - I had to phone in sick as I fully expected from the leaflet to be fine. I think the hospitals need to be realistic about the pain that can be felt, I am no wimp but this was very bad & took several hours to recover from. I also think you should be told to take someone with you, preferably a driver.
