I'm not going to lie to you, it's pretty unpleasant. It's not that it's painful, it's just a bizarre and uncomfortable feeling. Basically, you lie down on a table and they stick a large needle into the back of your hip bone just along your waist. The thing is, there's not a lot of fluid in there, so they need to kind of dig around for it. Again, it doesn't really hurt too bad, but it's a very strange feeling as the needle kind of scrapes along the bone.
Please, don't let this scare you, it's really not that bad, but I don't want to BS you, since I'm sure that you're more than aware by now that most things about treatment can be unpleasant.
Just hang in there and good luck.
