I Hate Injections
It isn't the shot in the arm that I hate the most, it is the dental and other types of numbing shots that bother me.
Whenever I am at the dentist and he removes the pre-numbing medicine (which makes little to no difference to me) and he/she reaches for the syringe, I CRINGE! I tense up and close my eyes. I can better tolerate the pain if I don't SEE it coming at me! I relax once the initial medicine has entered my tender gums.
Just the other day, I had a bothersome wart removed from my chin which was getting in the way of my shaving close enough. I was in the chair they gave me an aluminum plate to hold on to. Once the alcohol was applied, I KNEW what was coming next so I shut my eyes. The doctor was really gentle with it, unlike some of the dentists I have had. I reopened my eyes but still didn't wish to see the process so shut them again.
AS a teen, I had a high fever due to a horrific sunburn I experienced and the doctor prescribed an injection of a medication that looked like skim milk. She asked me where I wanted it, and with the room full of others being treated, I said I wanted it in the arm. There was a cute little five year old watching my reaction.
As the plunger relieved itself of its liquid, it was so thick that my eyes blacked out for a second. That was the most painful injection of my life.
I have also had flu shots and Tet. shots that stung like crazy. I think I only had two flu shots in the past six years!😱😂💉🌡
