Well, I recently got one injection ......A nail got nailed in my foot

I feel bad at starting...but then I dont feel it actually...and as others have mentioned that...it gets bad...when it hurts the arm.....I was not able to move my arm for 2 days...just because of the pain.

However, I know that the injection was important so I had no choice...regardless of the fact that I like it or not.

People that say that they like having needles and stuff stuck into them are just trying to get attention and dont pay any attention to them. I dont mind them. I just go in, get it done, and get out so i can move on. Whats the point of not getting it done? Like i said just go in and get it done. Ya, the only part i really dont enjoy is when they poke the needle into you arm, leg, of whereever they are giving you the shot. But from there i am fine.

I don't really care one way or another - I used to HATE having shots as a kid, and even when I was older.

When I was a kid I used to create a big scene - later, when I was older, a doc noticed that I was nervous and he said - just look at the needle as it goes in - you'll see it's a very little thing and nothing to be worried about. So I did, and realized that yes, it was a very little thing; and while looking at it go in, I realized that yes, it didn't really hurt so much at all. Since then needles haven't worried me. I must say that some docs & medics are really skilled at giving injections (as compared to others) - if a person who knows what they're doing gives you an injection you actually hardly feel a thing.

As for the arm paining afterwards - if you rub the area vigorously for a few minutes after you take the shot, and give it a rub again after every half hour or so for an hour or two, this tends to reduce the arm pain a bit.
