I got a shot in the butt today by a dr. I'm in Australia. I had to ask for it as I am doing contract work and anymore days off work means I'm not paid. I have bacterial tonsillitis and the pain has been terrible, like swallowing razor blades every time. I had the needle once before when I was about 20 and remember the infection clearing up super quickly. Well, the needle did hurt, but it was over quite quickly - maybe a minute of pain. My butt and hips are still sore, but I'm really hoping I feel heaps better tomorrow morning because I have to go to work. No sign of improvement yet. Still alternating painkillers - panadol and ibuprofen. I can deal with the butt and hip pain if the throat pain goes away. Dr prescribed antibiotics twice a day for next 10 days, not ideal but better than trying to fight the infection without them.

Like you, Caroline, my first symptom of illness was always a sore throat and I regarded the treatment as exchanging a sore throat for a sore bottom. In my youth I always feared the embarrassment of being injected in the bare bottom more than the pain, which probably helped me tolerate the shots themselves.

You are a brave girl to undergo two shots daily for ten days, which will probably render you unable to sit down but you are right that injections are more efficient than oral medication. Following the advice of a former girlfriend, I also now request treatment by injection.
