Yeah, it didn't really hurt because I was jacked up on lidocaine, but I could feel them moving the needle around inside which was disturbing.

Most distrubing of all is the differehnt colors in this photo. Skin shouldn't be all those colors at once! Poor Rachel!

The yellow is from the betadine. They do a full surgical prep/sterilization before the arthrogram. Fun times!
