That's weird, you'd figure that they would've at leased used a smaller agent before shoving a hose of a needle into your hand..
Like apply it in 2 stages: first, a small pinprick (which would be about as much pain as you'd feel through the whole thing) to inject the initial numbing agent. Wait 10 minutes, insert the big one which will provide the rest. At least you could've avoided unnecessary torture
Ah well, that's a cool pic though. Looks like it would be constant pain with that.. I could never imagine having pins through my bones... it just seems like the most agonizing thing ever.
