Actually getting it put in was the painful part, and that was fairly quick, and may be different depending on your cervix, etc. I'm still sore, but it's more comparable to (what I consider) bad-ish menstrual cramps.
Another friend of mine in Australia said she was given anaesthetic options for the procedure, which I was not.
Yes, I was offered a general anaesthetic, but I don't really want one because I have bad reactions to them - the gynaecologist then assured me that the anaesthetic spray makes it painless! I hope you're feeling better very soon.
If you have questions or want to hear about other people's insertion experiences, iud_divas is a really good place for that. From what I can tell, it appears to be all over the map re: pain and recovery.
