a little pinch, and then it’s pretty much over

All I remember from my last needle is that I cried. I was pretty young back then though.

I pinched myself and I think that’s how the needle’s gonna feel. That works.

yeah basically

I have a strong fear of needles but the pinch does make sense, I’ve gotten better with dental needles so I should be better with these ones

@croccin-champagne

if u close ur eyes and look away, u might not even notice it. its what i used to do when i was younger

Alright step out of the way queen of needles right here

I’ve gotten two picclines, many, many IVs and as among vaccinations as I can count.

Do you know what type of vaccinations you’re getting? Because it can really vary.

I can get back to you later, but I’m due for hepatitis b shots and a few more that I don’t remember.

Alright hep b shouldn’t hurt too much, since they’re inserting it more at a 45 degree angle than straight down. I might be wrong, it might hurt like a shit, but idk. I feel like it won’t hurt as much as a tetnis (whatever) or polio which goes straight down into the muscle.

@Relsey-TheElder

Shots for me start with a pinch and then there's a dull ache that doesn't go away for a while like a week.

@croccin-champagne

tetanus shots werent really that bad, just kinda dull ache for a bit after, like relsey said

If tetanus shots aren’t bad then they’re doing it wrong lmao

@croccin-champagne

@croccin-champagne

either that or my pain tolerance really just is that high. id probably go with them not doing it right

It might be idk

That’s why those shots are so long-term

Because they cut deep and HURT

@croccin-champagne

Yep

“Insert needle at a 90° angle into thickest portion of deltoid muscle — above the level of the axilla and below the ..”

But for children it’s 45 degrees

@croccin-champagne

well i was a kid

Oof, I think I’ve gotta get the tetanus shot. Oh well. It’s better than dying.

@Relsey-TheElder

The ache differs in intensity depending on the shot, like some of them it's just a dull ache and others its like a migraine but in your arm, you know.

oof

Well if you got them during childhood you should be able to decline it. If not you should prolly get it (also I was a little wrong the shots don’t go directly into the muscle but very close)

Okay so they hurt less than a cat bite.
They kind of pinch and I used to be terrified of them, but they don't really bug me anymore. They are over pretty quickly, so if you can focus on something else while getting the shot that's good.
Afterwards the pain can vary from not very much to barely being able to move the arm or leg or whatever, also bruising if you get a bad doctor.
