Yes I was warned by a friend about the nipple injection. I mentioned it to the doctors - they jut looked at me askance. I also felt it was very painful. I just gritted my teeth. I wish one of them had to have it done to THEM.

Even the person who injected me with the dye said some women can not bear this pain and my doctor after the injection said oh yea you had that terrible injection. Never knew ahead of time I was receiving the injection. I still have pain at the site one month later we should have full detail and given options for a better easier way. I'm very disillisioned with the medical field related to breast cancer we need to make improvements.

@kathyomaha55 Painful?...that doesn't describe it! Holy mackerel, my daughter was holding my hand and I was worried I would break her fingers, but the tech was very nice and gave me a break partway through the injection. One of my children was delivered by C-section and the anesthetic failed during incising...this injection was in par with that same pain! The good thing is the pain does not last.
