Answer

Not much. It is like picking a pimple. It just stings for a second.

answer 2

Actually like picking two pimples (or having two shots) because they take your whole blood, spin it down to remove the cells which are then returned to you.

Answer retake:

You will feel a pinch as they insert the needle into your vein. As they use the same needle for the take/return parts of the cycle, you only have to worry about that little prick.

The rest of the procedure is painless. It does not hurt when your blood is drawn or when it is returned to you. If the area around the needle burns or pain persists during the process, please notify your technicians. The needle is probably placed incorrectly.
