Had mine done yesterday and last night I'd just gone to bed when something came out my nose (along with some blood).
Looked sort for grey and was a bit rubbery... just wondered if it's normal cos I wasn't told what to expect afterwards or anything. My nose did feel a lot clearer after it came out, just a bit baffled really

Erm.....yeah, basically, its fine.
When you have a troublesome blood vessle in your nose they can burn it off with local anaesthetic to stop nose bleeds. :thumb:
:nervous:
Aww bless. It isn't bad. Them shoving the camera up to have a look round was much much worse.
They spray local anaesthetic up your nose. And the stick thing they use isn't on fire... infact I dunno how it works, must be chemical... looks like an insense stick. Just feels like when you need to sneeze and you get that stinging feeling, only a bit worse.
Is it your GP who does it or do they refer you to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist? Time's a bit of an issue with me because I'm going to Scotland for the summer in a few weeks.
EN&T I'm affraid. Get your GP to refer you quick then, hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
