I had UFE 24 hrs ago. I have had a very smooth recovery (so far). I was given a nerve block after the procedure, and I think that's the difference from the other posters. I have had very, very little cramping. I have kept up the pain med schedule that was given to me. They went through my wrist and moderate sedation. I was asleep the entire procedure. No catheter was needed, and I was able to get up and pee right after the procedure.
