This last july I happen to get hit by a huge heavy tire swing and it left a giant bruise on the front part of my arm, right around the elbow area. But the bruise is long gone, its almost october, and everytime there is pressure in that spot on my arm, it hurts. Does it take this long to heal? It's the muscles that feels like its in pain.

I had a vertical hood piercing a few years ago, and now I have plans to re-pierce the area, this time in a horizontal. The first time I had it done the piercing was quite painful-- an intense, if momentary, stabbing sensation which one might expect to accompany a needle going through one's most sensitive of areas. Much to my embarrassment, I screamed in agony when the needle went through. I was thinking this second time I should numb the pain with a topical anesthetic, but when I went to the piercer she became annoyed and insisted that no reputable piercer would use topical because it's "unethical". The reason she gave was the cream is in a jar and therefore not sterile. But I don't understand, don't they sterilize the area anyway right before the piercing? It's not like that whole area is sterile to begin with.
Also, assuming sterility is not an issue, are there other reasons not to use the topical (NOT local) anesthetic (other than "it takes away from the experience")? Is it ineffective? Is it in any way dangerous? Will it make me hurt worse after the anesthetic wears off?
Finally, would you have any product recommendations? From an internet search it appears there are ones that make you go numb and others that work by cooling.

Does anyone think that Doctors get perks, and incentives for prescribing new drugs? It seems like every time I go to the Doctor's office there is a drug company rep there, sometimes two, or three. Do incentives play a part in the way Doctors write prescriptions?
