Eight, sorry I misspoke yesterday. Now that I think about it, the doctor was constantly seeing the area in a monitor before giving the injection. Must have been ultrasound. At the start of the procedure, they told me it had a small chance of hitting some critical nerves/muscles but they had crash carts anyway and that pretty much was the only thing on my mind then
