Hi,

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. The most likely cause is related to trauma during the process of picking the needle. For now, I mainly recommend physical measures like caressing, applying cold packs and maybe take Tylenol to help ease the pains. This would recover as the inflammation starts settling.


I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
