[QUOTE="bamba, post: 1670893, member: 443017"] 1. Try alternate sites - other parts of your finger or fleshy part of thumb. 2. Try a higher setting - being too tentative may make taking a sample difficult and require multiple attempts hurting more, punching through may actually hurt less. 3. Try using Gateway theory of pain - you can only typically feel only one source of pain at a time, my Dentist pinches my cheek when injecting anaesthetic as a distraction to the needle going in. Perhaps a tourniquet or pinching another finger will distract. [/QUOTE]
