I just had this done...

I had 2 kind of big ones on my back after getting pregnant and couldn't stand them! I set up an appointment right after I had my annual physical a couple of weeks ago and had them removed. The shots probably did hurt a little more than the actual snipping, but not too bad, really. I actually had a third one taken off on my shoulder blade that had been there for years but was not as big as the ones that grew from being pregnant, so 3 shots total in my back. She had to cauterize them to stop them from bleeding, which burned a little and was stinky. I am so glad I had it done. My husband has BCBS, so it was covered under that. Good luck!
