I think the injection itself is minor compared to the site pain a few hours later and the often accompanying feelings of malaise. That is why I went with the tylenol 30 minutes before.

I would bet a nickel most practioners don't advocate either the emla OR the tylenol. LOL. My advice is pure mommy advice, not a shred of medical mixed in.
