They do not typically give local anesthesia for implants (at least IUD) in the US. I hear it is common outside of the US.

I did the whole thing white knuckled. Both insertion and extraction.

Nope, no any pain meds for IUDs here either, or for the other stuff either. But for implants, yup, local anesthesia. They're different, implant goes in your arm.
