Yes...close your eyes. Don't look at the needle. It's the size of something you'd use to inject globs of fat into a turkey!!!
Fell on a knee MANY years ago. Bursa sac on the knee swelled up and had to be drained. The fluid inside is NOT like plain water...it contains all sorts of "gunk". So they need a large bore needle to extract the fluid. You know those very thin painless needles diabetics use every day? IT'S NOT THOSE!!! The needle will push at the skin before piercing it. Once in, it's totally painless. However, seeing the size of that monster plus watching it push in...I'd rather have general anesthesia.
Only kidding...well, no I'm not but it's really not bad. Over in one second. So take the advice...look away and just put up with a second of pain...worth it.
