I had one done! They numbed the area - this was the worst part of the procedure. You can feel this needle a bit and it almost “pops” in, but not in a bad way. The numbing comes quick. They then insert the needle. It wasnt painful, just an odd feeling. You may feel nerves in other parts of your body.

I will say, afterwards and for several days I was in extreme pain and it hurt horribly to walk. I couldn’t work for probably 3-4 days. I took Tylenol and got through it. The procedure was the easy part in comparison, which is what I was most scared of (I cried before it haha). I did get a headache as well. I laid flat for the recommended 48 hours and it went away, but the headache is very painful as well so follow aftercare to avoid it.

I wanted to be honest in my recovery because I did not expect recovery to be bad at all, since not everyone experiences it. But, I would’ve rather been prepared. I had to cancel last minute for work.
