Is KNEE aspiration a painful procedure? Fluid on the knee issues here....?

i know there have been a few answers on this already but not too recent and was wondering if there's any NEW methods/ways to do this?

Tomorrow i might have to have one and i'm scared to say the least. On a scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being the least, how much does the needle hurt? And for how long? is it numbed up first?

    Aspiration is a little uncomfortable, but far from very painful. You have to also realize that everyone's tolerance for pain is different. I would rate aspiration at a "2".
