How bad does it hurt to get liquid drained for your knee. I was sliding in softball and I slid wrong and now my leg is all bruised up and I have this pocket of fluid. The doctor I went to said that we will give it time to see if it will go down but my dad says it would be better to just get it drained now. I am scared to get it drained I am not good with big needles and shots! How bad will it hurt?

If it doesn't then, a fine needle aspiration or Chat Doctor.  It is a simple procedure just a seconds prick and job is done, so nothing to worry. Follow your doctors advice thanks
