Rebecca, I didn't have any pain with when they injected the radioactive dye in my breast. They gave me valium, numbed it with a shot (not a cream), didn't feel a thing. I had a blue nipple for more than a year though..lol. My friend had a lot of pain with hers that was done a year before mine but they told me that they were now numbing with an injection..ask if they can do that for you if they don't already do it..sherryg683
