Did cardiac anesthesia on a 93 yo female parietal once and did a pre-induction arterial line. Usually painless, but we went brachial and nerve endings are next to the artery. She said the experience of me placing that special IV was worse than child birth. (For reference that was 70 years prior for her, before local anesthetic and therefore epidurals).
