Had to take 25 mg of hydroxyzine for my anxiety, and 1,000 mg of acetaminophen + 800 mg ibuprofen just to tolerate the pain.

It was still painful enough to make me scream, but at least it was faster than the first time. She actually knew what she was doing, it seemed like, but I don't think she anticipated how much pain I'd be in.

Also! I think I might be allergic to benzocaine! The topical anaesthetic she used burned like hell.

My lidocaine injections always burn, but I was told to expect it. Idk about benzocaine though. I'm surprised they use that instead of lidocaine, isn't it less effective?

I have no idea. She used the topical spray.
