Hi Robin,
I found your post very interesting. Although I have been told for years
that pap smears should not be painful, they always have been for me!
They are so painful, that I sometimes put off going in for one. Along
with cramping during the pap smear, I have cramping for about 24 hours
after. I'm chalking it up to my endo...
