Make shots hurt less HELP and if you tell me how to give a lot of points all give you as many points as u want

Question

I have to get like 4 shots tomorrow! the HPV shot, manigacacul, the flu shot (which im not worried about), and the tetanus shot. I HATE SHOTS, and im a complete wuss. i dont handle pain well at all . . . Whats the best advice you can give to me, and honestly tell me what they feel like (if you know). How can i prepare for them to make them not hurt as much.

Answer 1

I give a lot of shots, and the key to getting a shot is a relaxed muscle. That is the biggest thing. Now the medications may burn and there is not a lot you can do to keep the medication from burning. The 2 that are going to burn some will be the HPV and the Tetanus. I have had some people try coughing just as the shot is put in and the prick seems less as well. Keep your arms moving a whole lot after the shot and they will not be as sore.
Good luck. don't think about it that will freak you out as well.

Answer 2

the hpv shots and the tetanus and the flu shot dont hurt, they just feel like a pinch. manigacacul is a little bit more painful and makes ur arm sore, but u will live. tell the nurse to not tell u which shot is which and close ur eyes before she gives u the first one, and keep em closed until she says shes done. have ur mom make small talk with u and if u really get into the conversation, u may not even realise that ur getting the shot. dont, worry, youll be fine. :)

Answer 3

You need to totally relax when the injections are being given. Don't hold your breath! HPV doesn't hurt that bad, it's more like a pinch, but the next day your arm will be a little sore.
The tetanus shot will make your arm sore for about 2-3 days. I've had all of them, and give them all on a daily basis!!!!

Answer 5

Ask them to numb the skin using anesthetic cream. You apply it for about 30 mins, it numbs the area and then they give you the injection. Good Luck.
