Steve, I can identify with your experience of being invaded by a huge needle. I was 10 years old and had osteomyelitis in my left tibia. I saw the needle and the doctor coming in the door and across to my gurney and almost screamed. As you said, the pain despite the local anesthetic, was immense. The only saving grace was the procedure saved me from having my leg amputated. The incident, just as in your case, is still vivid in my mind.
