The cardiovascular system is important to maintain supply of oxygen and nutrients, and removal of wastes, from the nervous system.

Does a fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodule hurt?
I did alot of reading on this so I was confident it would not hurt at all....well the "numbing" needle burned but that was no big deal. The 1st needle pinched...but I dealt with the discomfort...the 2nd needle got contaminated so he had to get a 3rd...5 minutes go by and I did ask if whatever he used to numb the pain wore off and he said no.....well it did..omg I saw stars! You cannot talk or move so I had to be still and NOT cry....WOW....and to top it off..I also read that afterwards it may be "tender" for up to 48 hours....It has been over 10 days and I cannot swallow without it hurting, turn my head without feeling it and it hurts when you touch it. This bulge never hurt prior to the biopsy. It came back undiagnostic so now I have to go again! I think it all has to do with who performs it. This time I asked who is scheduled to do mine and I looked him up! Good Luck.
