hi, sweetie! i just went throught ALL of this. (just had my cryo on tuesday, actually) im sorry that the colp hurt you.
i can tell you, that my colp was far more nerve-wrecking and "painful" (as far as actual pain on my cervix goes) than my cryo. the vinegar solution they put on my cervix for the colp burned, and they also took a biopsy, which (while it wasnt unbearable) was a feeling i really dont want to feel again.
different people will tell you different things when it comes to cryo. for instance, i heared horror stories. with ME, the prodecure was at the very least only moderately uncomfortable. i took 800mg of motrin before i went to my appointment. and the ONLY discomfort i felt were cramps that felt -exactly- like my normal menstrual cramps. there was NO pain on my cervix at all (and they didnt put anything on mine to numb it first). the only sensation on my cervix was a bit of a cold feeling. but not nearly as cold as you would expect. the cramps stay steady through the whole procedure. i was worried that they would gradually get worse as the freezing went on, but they stay exactly the same. just lay back, concentrate on breathing, and RELAX as best as possible. it makes it a lot easier on you.
if you want to ask me anything more specific, i'll try my best to answer your questions. =)
