Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.
I am not a medical professional and cannot give you medical advice.
I think many people would be able to relate to your fears. We all worry about having a medical procedure and certainly no one wants to be in pain. I am sure, however, that your doctor will take good care of you. Have you asked the doctor how much pain to expect and what you can do to prepare for the pain? Knowing what to expect might help ease your anxiety.
Please write and let me know how you made out.
