Talk to your parents about having a massage for later in the day or early the next day. This link explains why.

Print this out and take or send it in beforehand.

You also might want to print out a couple of my posters from here and ask for one to be put on your chart and another on the wall above your bed.

They will give you some versed to help you relax. It is still somewhat painful, but the meds they give you really help.
