Describe where it hurts, whether the pain varies and what changes during or after the procedure.
Tools such as a rating scale can help communicate how you feel. Ask for suitable support if words are difficult.
Medicines and approaches without medicines are available. Ask the team which are appropriate for your procedure and circumstances.
