I also asked for some sort of pain relief before I got mine done and was rejected. That being said, my Dr was very kind and did her best to make it a calm and comfortable experience (as did the nurse that was assisting, she was great). They were also very understanding when I had a little panic attack afterward lol. I went to Mary's Center in Petworth. Hope you're able to find someone that does some numbing/pain relief, but if not I can also send you the name of my gyn if you'd like.
