Issues with polyp removal - painful experience

I was asked to take paracetamol (only 1 tablet perhaps my error) 1 hour before the removal but i was seen over 2 hours after taking the paracetamol.

During the procedure (lasering the polyp off) I was in severe pain and my blood pressure had dropped, i was very hot (asking for water) which mean't the procedure stopped.

At the time the lady undertaking the procedure said some people have low pain thresholds. I needed extra pain relief as I was rolling around in pain.

This has left me feeling like I cant cope with pain, a repeat procedure or unable to cope with things like child birth.

Another appointment has been made but I not sure what to do.
