Oh yes..Does the size of the needle matter? If it's a really thin, and I mean really really thin and short needle? Most of the time I can't feel it going through my skin, and if I feel it before I push it through, I just move it ½ an inch.
I bathe in emla cream before blood tests and scream the place down if I can feel it...or faint...
The hospital did it in the arm I asked them NOT to use, without any anaesthetic...then attempted to joke they would have to do it again because it hadn't worked!. I was (a) not amused and (b) used impolite language..
