 I got mine yeasterday in the hip and it did not hurt. I am 20 year old and normally don't like shots. I had worn a tight fitting blouse and I could not get my sleeve up. The male nurse told me I could get it in my butt. I lowered my jeans and he poked me in the butt and I hardly felt it. No pain.

Most of the stories are BS and can be easily detected by the descriptions. To answer your other question, most nurses don't want to give shots in the butt because it is no longer the recommended injection site and the fear put into them of accidentally hitting the sciatic nerve. Also if the label instructions for the medicine specify to give it in the deltoid muscle (arm) they won't do it differently, especially younger nurses because that is how they have been trained. Me, I want to get all my shots in my butt because I hate the soreness and ache afterwords in my arm from some of the medicines such as tetanus shots. The shots themselves rarely hurt. I explain that to the nurse and there have been times I refused a shot because they wouldn't accomodate me. I have had to change doctors a couple of times in the past due to moving, etc. and I now make it a point to discuss this with the doctor at my first visit to make sure it is acceptable. If not I find another doctor.
