I have one that I want removed... I wanted to get conscious sedation for it, but the doctor claims it's a "minor procedure" and not really necessary... and that just regular aenaesthetic shots are enough

If you had one, did the anaesthetic shots hurt and how many shots did you receive? Were you able to feel the pressure when the doctor was squeezing or cutting it out? And does it hurt when they "pack" the hole? I heard that's the part that hurts the most and that you have to go back every few days to have the "packing" replaced. I read somewhere online where someone stated "it felt like getting stabbed"... Is this true ?
