I had to have mine removed last year. Granted... I waited a day or two after the pains started to actually go see a doctor. (clever right?) I wouldn't worry too much, basically the second you get into the hospital you will be drugged up and won't feel a thing. The doctor who handled mine... had done three of the same surgery previous to mine.... so it is pretty run of the mill for them.
The more miserable thing is if you are a guy, you literally will not be able to go the restroom despite if you feel like you need to, for anywhere between 6 to 24 hours.
The most miserable thing is getting used to not moving in certain ways while recovering at home. Just take it really easy... get a heating pad and just relax for a few days. (Gharen's description of how it will feel is spot on, but it will ease up over a few days and only hurt if you twist in the wrong way.)
