Hell, I did that last week, even with a double-dose of the locals- he stuck the probe in, and I about came off the chair. Idiot kept asking me 'do you feel pain, or just pressure?' After I explained to him the lack of a difference, he got out the needle again. Took me a good ten minutes to convince him to give me a prescription for something to get through the next 48 hours- I had to explain to him in very clinical terms why I couldn't take OTC NSAIDs any more, and how they made my face swell up. Damn DEA and AMA have gotten all medical practitioners so scared of being labeled 'drug addiction enablers', that you have to fight to get meds for legitimate reasons.
So why wouldn't they give you any meds?
-- aem sends, still sore just thinking about it all again....
