Which hurts worse? Getting a shot in the arm or hip/butt area...?

Question

I am getting that Gardasil shot and you have to get three total. I got one and it hurt. They asked me if next would I like to get in in the hip area. I said that I would think about it. Soooo... here I am.

Answer 1

When I recently got my Hpv shot the nurse came in and asked were I wanted my hpv shot. I said the butt because the first time my arm hurt like he.. afterwords. Five minutes later the nurse returned with the syringe and told me to lay on the exam table. She then said, "skirt up, panties down" and I slid them down slightlty. She yanked them all the way down, and injected my butt. I hardly felt it, which was good, but it was semiembarrasing. She said that next time I should wear a skirt and thong for minimal embarrasement. Thats my advice, hope it helps, comment back and say how it went.

Answer 2

i personally think the hip hurts more i too am getting that shot and i got my first on in the hip then the second in the arm to me the arm was better but it still stings a lot i think that might be the nature of the shot cause at the same time different arm i got my birthcontrol shot and it didnt sting as much. good luck its only two more times for you so dont stress about it to much!!!

Answer 3

I just got the HPV shot in my arm, and it hurt cause it was directly into the muscle. The butt generally is better cause its fatty tissue (well, unless you have buns of steel).

Answer 4

Where there is more fat/flesh like in the butt or thigh area it should hurt less
