Obviously I care about pain, I realise you mean physical pain but I am IN pain emotionally and mentally every day as things stand. I wouldn't want my life to continue for years and years under my current circumstances as they are now, and unless things change pretty radically I won't be looking to get any female health checks done, sorry if that offends anyone but in a life where I have very little control that's something I DO have control over. And to state the obvious, we're all going to die one day and that's unlikely [sadly for all of us] to be a pain free experience.

All of that aside I had a smear test done by a nurse at my home around 20 years ago [last time I had one] as I couldn't get to the doc's, and when she was unable to get a good enough sample and then informed my dr of this, my dr stated 'oh well, you've not had many sexual partners have you? You should be ok' - that's the UK's national health service for you
