when they did it they gave me no warning just came in said that i needed it doing i asked if i could be numbed knocked out or a anesetic of some sort they said no and that i would just feel a scratch. It was the worst pain i have ever been through i was crying screaming felt like i was going to pass out. they stopped in the end said my muscles were filghting too much with it and they could not do it . After this they put a cortisone injections in the same place thinner needle but same length that really hurt. Been told by lots of people that they should of numbed/froze my leg of put me to sleep or gave me an anasetic of which they did not do is this true? worst pain i have ever been in.
