Not the same because mine was self-inflicted - I had a large tattoo on my right calf.
I could have gladly gotten off the couch after 1 minute!! Painfull didn't begin to describe it.
I was on there for nearly 3½ hrs!!
That sucker ballooned up real good and was bloody painful for a week, pretty painful after two and still tender after three!!
At least I'll know what to expect when I have the left one done, eh???
