You will have the most pain you have ever known.\n\nCoach

Honestly it depends on where you will be getting the injection.  I've had eleven of them this year in various locations.  Most of the time I felt fine, tender yes, but other than that fine the following day.  It was the day after that when I hurt like crazy.   I was getting mine in a joint, my SI Joint and hip joint too.  And it ached.  Just be prepared for the worst.  Bring along whatever pain meds you have been prescribed.  And maybe a cooler with ice packs.  You may need them to help reduce swelling in the area of the injection.

Yes that is completely normal, Just make sure you keep an eye on your mole to monitor the size, shape and colour of it though.\nIf you notice any changes in it's appearance get it checked by your doctor.

Don't worry, it's not nearly as bad as you think. Although, you will feel a little sting, and they will be using a slightly larger gauge needle than would be used for an injection, it won't be bad at all. Also, you will definitely NOT feel the blood coming out. \n\nIt won't take long at all.\n\n1. They will search for a good vain, either by sight or by gently touching the vain\n2. They will disinfect the injection/withdrawal site with either an alcohol or iodine swab.\n3. They may ask you to make a fist\n4. They will insert the needle and withdraw a couple small vials of blood.\n5. It will be over before you know it, and you will probably be saying to yourself  "was that it?"\n\n\nIf you are still feeling squeamish tomorrow, just don't watch while they are taking the blood.\n\n\n                     YOU'LL BE FINE!!\n\nHopefully, this answer helped a bit!!!

my Mom just had this done.  It costs about $300 per session... but it takes probably about 3 times.  it didn't work the first time she went but after the 2nd, she saw a difference.  She had them pretty bad also.. so it depends on the person.\n\nShe said that it hurt for about a day or 2, just mild pain.  you have to cover it up for about 2 days also.

I have the same kind of mole on my face. Most people don't really notice them. I was thinking of having it removed, but then you're left with a scar. I'd rather have a mole than a scar.

it doesn't hurt one bit. they numb your mole with a shot. the shot doesnt hurt at all. i have the biggest fear of needles and i'm fine. then if it is raised then they just scrape it off but if it is even with your skin then they scoop it out like ice cream. depending on the doctor and size they will pull it together with stitches or leave it. if you have the option take the stitches b/c if they leave it then it raises and looks bad. i have had a few removed and all those times i didnt even realize they were finished because i didn't feel a thing. Also, my insurance covered it so I am not sure how much it costs. Good luck with it. :)

I've had mine done and it doesn't really hurt that bad.Some places will numb you before they Peirce it.Just remember to practice good hygiene and NO SEX for at least 2 weeks to allow for healing.If you want to numb it yourself......use orajel or some other teething remedy.

You can buy mole traps at a hardware store.\n\nJust kidding...you can cut them off but they may very well grow back....it they are bugging you enough, bite the bullet and go to the doctor.  BTW- it is good to get moles checked out once in a while by a doc anyhow.

They sound like moles..but have checked out by your doc, You will feel better when you know for sure.....

You can ask them if they could possibly put some novacaine on the area where the needle will be inserted, but in all honesty, I was deathly afraid to have an IV before the first time I had one, and when I DID get one, it didn't hurt at all. I know you're probably thinking that it hurts while it's inside of you for the amount of time it is, but you don't even know it's there. They'll most likely pull it out before you even wake up. They did mine. Good luck to you!

I have had one wisdom tooth taken out and it was ok.  They gave me an injection and I felt absolutely no pain.\nYou would be under a general anaesthic for this and will not feel a thing.\nSurgery is not as scary as it sounds.  Infact, it is very relaxing.\nYou can always have a drug to help you relax prior to the general anaesthetic.  \nHaving surgery is an amazing thing actually.  It takes just a split second to be anaesthetized and before you know it, you are awake and wondering if they have done you or not.\nYou may feel some pain after surgery but with the right pain killers, you will get through it with no problems.\nObviously, your dentist feels they must come out.\nYou will feel better for it and so will your mouth.\nSpeak to your dentist about the fears you are having.  Speak to others who have had it done. I know my little brother in law(who is just 20) had 4 of his out recently and he is doing great.\nMy 15 year old neice had five teeth removed and she was fine.\nOf course, surgery for the first time is scary but I want to assure you that it's not.\nI find it very relaxing.  You will be in the best of care.\nTry not to worry about it.  Think pleasant thoughts.  Sometimes the drs. and nurses joke around with you to help relax you.\nJust think of it has having a nice sleep while they fix up your mouth.\nGood luck : ) Keep smiling.......your teeth will be beautiful

I am a dental assistant and honestly, yes it does hurt. Your best bet is to get a general anesthetic, (one that puts you to sleep.) When I had ine removed 3 years ago, I woke up and felt nothing because I was still under the anesthetic. After I woke from my nap however, I was in misery. My best advice is to take your pain medicine on schedule. It's alot easier to control the pain than to have to get rid of it again. Your cheeks will be "puffy" and the pain will last anywhere from 2-4 days. The nerve is not such a big deal. It sounds scary, but is in fact very common. Just avoid getting a dry socket by not smoking or drinking out of a straw and use COLD compresses. Hot will open the blood clod that has been formed after removal. From my experience having teeth removed is alot less hurtful then people believe due to the horror stories by other people. Just keep a positive attitude and don't work yourself up too much. Promise it's better then what you think. Hope this helps!!

I had a raised mole removed and it had a few stitches. They came out in about a week, and the area took maybe 3 weeks to start looking healed all the way. Scars vary depending on your skin makup and tone - you can end up with a no-show scar or a slightly raised scar or one that differs in color from your skin, so time will tell. Mine doesn't show at all. Good luck!

If you are getting that many moles that quickly you might want to see a Dermatologist. Some times moles can be cancerous so you should be checked.  But if you are getting a bunch it may not be moles. Do they itch? Do you have any allergies? Are they tender, bleeding, filled with liquid? it may be an allergic reaction to the pills you took.

I had a tiny one removed by a plastic surgeon, and I think it  costs around $150.00, BUT the price is higher than average because since it's a mole, it HAS to go to a lab for a biopsy and that is included in the price.
