I grew up in the 1950es-1970es in a town some place in Scandinavia.

There was not so much of a culture for injections that penetrate the skin in this part of the world, instead one tended to use oral medication, anal medication or nasal medication

When I had an injection in was usually for some vaccination and it occured somewhat surprizingly.

I remember I was 5 years old, and my mother took me to the doctor. They pulled down my clothes so my bottom was bare and let me lay on an examination table.

The doctor had fetched a syringe that seemed juge to me, but I did not get afraid, because I thought the next step would be to spread me open and do something through my anus. I was used to such ordeals, but they were always gentle, so I felt confident this was nothing that would hurt.

But that did not happen. Instead I felt a sharp pain in my left cheek that lasted half a minute befor the doctor took away the syringe.

But the injection also resulted in a strange excitement. I will not call it sexual excitement, but this excitement was also a part of the experience.

Then I do not remember any more from this experience. I am not quite sure what this injection was for.

It might have been a vacination for poliomyelitis. But I received more of these vaccinations, also those into my bottom, but without that large syringe, that pain and that excitement.

After having thought more about the experience, I am inclined to thing this was some kind of shot to put me to sleep for some examination that I do not remember more of.

Another real unpleasant experience, was a sort of sting I got in an arm for difteria vaccination. They had made my left arm bare, and made me have the underarm facing up. Suddenly the doctor stung me with some sort of fork in my underarm and injected somthing with that fork.

I did not see that vaccination fork before the doctor suddnly stung me with it.

Each year we had a test for exposure to tuberulosis germs by geting two small cuts in our arms by a pen tip and application of tuberculin fluid at the cuts. If that resulted in the skin swelling around the cuts after two days, it was sign of having been exposed or even having an infection.

That never happened to me, so I do not know what examinations a positive test could result in. But a few of my classmates were tested positive, but without being treated for an infection as I know.

But in the 7th grade we all were vaccinated for tuberculosis. A doctor came to the school, We had to take off our clothes at the upper body.

The doctor then injected the vaccine just under the skin at the back of our shoulders. The injected substance did not spread, but resulted immediately in a little lump. The vaccine resulted ten in swelling at the point where the vaccine had been given, then a small but but sore that took a couple of weeks to grow, and then a scar that I still can see.

But some of my classmates got a really great sore, and in some of them the healing resulted in eccessive growth so that they got an ugly lump instead of just a scar.
