  • Hello and thanks for your post

    It is quite common to experience some pain and discomfort following this procedure.  Taking a painkiller such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can help.

    If you find the pain is getting worse or not improving over the next few days, then do speak to your doctor for further advice.

    I hope things improve for you soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
