Ahem, I just wanted to thank you all for the sympathy, and to tell you to kiss my *beep*. :p

It did hurt, and my arm did bruise! Call me a wimp, I gave birth to three kids and never yelled once, lets see you boys do that, huh?? ;)

A lot depends on the skill of the person delivering the shot, where it is given (in the muscle or between), & how you react (ie tense vs not).

I had allergy shots for years, & some nurses could consistently do well & some would make me swell from my elbow halfway up my arm.

I'm pretty sure that some guys feel like they give birth.... :eek::disgust:

I always knew shots hurt when I was a kid, I just kept it up until they gave me a lollypop.

You know which shots hurt? The meningitas shot! Arrrgh, I was like "eh, another typical shot". And then the pain juice starts oozing in from the needle making your arm sore for several days. :p

I like giving hugs!! :):)

I figured that you if you were in so much pain that you posted it in more than one forum that you needed more than one hug. Plus, you also started a group hug so I had to be part of that too. :):)

I don't mind getting needles really... now when they tell me they are gonna take some blood thats a different story. They gotta stick the needle in a more sensitive area, then they gotta stick the tube on there and start sucking, then they gotta take the tube off and stick another one on there. Not a chance they can hold the damn needle perfectly still while doing all of this. gah i hate giving blood.

If you think a meningitis shot hurts, try a meningitis test (ie, a spinal tap). I had one of those when I was about five. Before that I was fine with shots, after that I've done everything on earth possible to avoid shots. Yup, traumatized for life.
