Fine needle aspiration of the thyroid that goes into my arm, but it's kind of weird getting one in your neck. does this hurt?

A little: Its ok, it may pinch a little, and it feels scary to let someone poke your neck. Be sure that your doctor does alot of these types of biopsies, and you wil be in good hands. Trust your doctor. Also dont squirm and move.
