Hi ladies 

I had a dreadful night last night, excruciating pelvic and back pain which morphine wouldn’t touch, sweating freezing. Just wondered what peoples experience was after hysteroscopy & biopsy

  • I had a failed hysteroscopy that failed through extreme pain when he couldn’t get the camera through BUT once it had stopped I had no more than a few cramps after and slight bleeding for a day or two. When I had it under general anaesthetic with a biopsy I had no pain after at all. So it’s not what I’d say would be expected and may not be connected to it. I’d suggest giving 111 a call as it’s the weekend.

  • Hi I was exactly like that last night I think I have got a viraL infection my sister and nephew exactly the same xx

  • Hi Aimee. I don't think you should be experiencing the sort of pain you're having. As said, call 111 for help and more information.

    Hugs, Barb xx

  • hi Mrs14 i hope you rand 111, the pain shouldn't be as extreme as you are having. I had my 2nd biopsy 2 weeks ago and i just get a bloated feeling after with minimal cramps. I would go to A&E if the pain gets worse just so they can check you over, and resolve your pain. Sending hugs.xx

  • Thanks everyone. I’ve preserved with the pain as I feel like a burden going back and forwards. It’s eased a bit it’s now like a bad period, it was horrendous last night & this morning . Hoping for a relatively pain free night & a decent sleep

  • if it continues and you are going hot and cold please make sure you haven't got an infection. Take it easy, try to rest. Hope it gets better for you x

  • I agree with Decan6, better safe than sorry. I had 2 hysteroscopies, both under anaesthetic, and I didn't have severe pain after either time although I didn't feel great. Your experience sounds a lot worse so I suggest you get checked out. Lots of luck and I hope you soon feel better.

  • Hi Aimee

    Ii had a hysteroscopy and biopsy without anaesthetic, and apart from feeling a little bit of discomfort I felt no pain at all. I’m with the others and think you should contact 111.

    Hope you’re feeling better soon.

  • Thank you. I’m feeling better today. I’ve never put 48 hours in like it was awful. Now the wait for biopsies. Hope you are all ok today
