I don’t know what went wrong but it was awful I felt the shot that was administered into my eye ! It was so painful. This is my 5th shot but the first one with this doctor. And went I stated I felt everything and it was so painful his assistant kept repeating all injections are different. This is a day later and I can’t wash that side of my face, I can’t touch my closed eye I needed a pain pill last night.
