> [@eschereal](#): > > the lateral palate shot hurts worse Having suffered through both, I can say the lateral palate shot is just as excruciating but lasts longer than the below-nose shot. Even worse than those, though, is in mid-root canal having the dentist drill past the Novocain into live nerve, then insist on putting another Novocain shot directly in there. Being knocked down by your horse and having a hoof come smacking down on the inside of my ankle ranks right up there, too. ---
