TwinLolly The pain/discomfort of a mammogram depends a great deal on the operator. Most of those who screened me were marvellous - just enough pressure to get a good picture, no pain at all - but one must have been a torturer in a previous life. She had me stand right up on tiptoe, squashed my boob in the machine, then raised the plate even further, so that I was en pointe like a ballet dancer, with my weight on the trapped boob! She was, however, the exception - perhaps she did your first one?
