Oh lordy poodicat, I have only had this done as treatment for a large haematoma that I had (as a result of a car crash) and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!
It was agonising. I had to load up on painkillers before I went to be able to get through it.
Fingers crossed that it isn't so painful if you don't have a ruddy great big blood clot under your skin!
Good Luck - and i'll follow this thread with interest . . . !!
