Answer 1

I think it's better getting it in the arm. I use to get Procrit shots and the larger doses had to be in my hip area. Smaller doses were in my arm. After having the shots in my hip, it was hard to sit down sometimes because I was so sore. Of course it could be the nurse that gives you the shot. One nurse gave me a shot in the arm and she kept pushing the needle in further and further and it was in as far as it could go. It left a huge bruise that lasted almost 2 weeks. But the nurse that gave me the shot in the hip did it real slowly so it wasn't as bad, except for being sore afterwards.

i'm interior the army, and as a effect of my mandatory shuttle to different countries the choose for injections is, regrettably, rather lots. I even have won all of my injections in my arm which includes painful photos like Yellow Fever, Anthrax and Typhoid and none of them rather felt like something greater effective than tension utilized to my arm with an relatively minor floor pricking. you do no longer experience the insertion of the needle in any respect. Needles are floor to this variety of high-quality ingredient that they pass via nerves, rather. do no longer subject - the arm is high-quality. do no longer enable your concern influence the needs on your good well-being.
