Subject: Re: How bad do antibiotic injections hurt? Author: Jacob [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Monday, June 17, 2013, 12:29: am In reply to: mandi 's message, "How bad do antibiotic injections hurt?" on Saturday, April 23, 2011, 04:33: pm I had to get one for strep on Friday and it is still tender today. It burned like fire when it went in and it seemed to take forever till she was done. I was told by the nurse that it would go in my "hip" butt this was right in the side off my butt cheek. I hadn't had one since I was 15 and I remembered being pissed about it for quite some time. I had faked being sick with a headache to get out school. My mom made me go to our pediatrician to see what was wrong. He was out that day so I had to see another doctor in the same office. I actually had a fever and tested positive for strep even though I had no symtoms. I though owe well more of the pink medicine. The doctor flipped through the chart and saw that I had been treated for strep earlier that year so she came to the conclusion that we should treat it agressively. She spoke with my mom and the two of them pretended to convince me of the shot as if I had any choice. While we waited I ask my mom, "it is in the arm, right?" She said, "I think so." When the nurse entered she smiled and said, "ok, let's get those pant-sies down," as if she was going to have fun with this. My jaw dropped and I looked at my mom and she said, "oh no, it's one of those." Then the nurse laughed and said, "yep, one of those." My mom started to leave the room and the nurse said that she wanted her to stay and keep my legs still. I had no say in the matter. I carefully unbuttoned my jeans and slid them down slightly along with my underwear trying to maintain as much dignity and privacy as I could before rolling over. After I rolled over the nurse pulled my jeans down low down by my ankles. Then she pulled my undewear down to my thighs exposing what little privacy I still had left. I heard her instructing my mom to use my jeans to hold my ankles and feet together. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Author: Jacob [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, June 17, 2013, 12:55: am It seemed like I layed there forever, exposed, and thinking about the predicament I had put myself in while they got set to old my legs and give the shot. Then I felt the cold swab of alcohol. Moments later there was the needle stick and I thought "not bad." Then there was that same burn of fire that I felt the other day that seemed to last forever. At one point I flinched and moaned. Also embarrassing. The nurse put a cotton ball on the site and then taped it in place. Then she said , "all done. See, it wasn't that bad." I struggled to pulled my underwear up without rolling over or lifting off the table but found this to be near impossible. I had to lift up and roll slightly off my front to pull them up and the nurse had pulled my underwear down below my front private area. Needless to say I know had nothing left unexpossed from this ordeal and the nurse and my mom got one last chuckle at my expense. For the longest time I thought that the doctor and nurse may have known that I was not sick, and that they wanted to teach me a lesson. I don't think that anymore, but I never played sick again. I was also reminded the other day that butt shots do hurt and they are embarrassing. It is one thing to be an adult and to be part of the decision that you actually need it. It is another to be a child or adolescent and go through the process. I feel that if there is any alternative to putting a child or adolescent through this ordeal it should be carefully considered as my experience felt more like punishment than medical treatment.

Author: Anon seoul (The pain was excruciating) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, February 03, 2014, 06:59: am I had an antibiotic injection today post op in Korea, seoul.... If I could've spoken Korean and realised what was coming I probably would've ran out of the clinic (30yr man) they injected in my arm..apart from the needle hurting like no injection ever had... It caused searing burning pains down my arm and literally raised me up off the bed... It felt like someone was burning my flesh.. I have never experience pain like it.... It was so painful it reduced me to tears (and I never cry) it was by far the worst 10mins of my life.... Felt like 10hrs. then my arm felt numb and painful and some mild swelling in my hand... It's been 6hrs and my arm still hurts.. Just awful :( [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
