What jay said is true about 10cc GG injections in the 50,s as i did read about that on the net, It was some type of study or experiment to prevent polio before the salk-sabin vaccine was invented, It was also mostly kids who got those big GG injections and i am sure they used a large bore 18 or 16 ga 2 inch needle for those injections cuz i do know GG is very thick like oil, So a lot of kids must have had very sore butts for a few days back then,So in retro a 3 cc bicillin shot would be mild compared to the 10cc gg injections of the 50,s...I bet those were scary looking shots cuz back then they used those old resuable glass syringes with all steel needles the ones with the steel hubs which made the needles look bigger than what they really were.

It is not the size of an injection that determines how painful it is but, rather, the actual serum being injected (i.e. how painfully the medicine reacts with muscle tissue). I have had gamma globulin many times for travel on short notice and, as I have said elsewhere in this forum, it is nowhere near as painful as it looks, although it does take a long time to inject. As cholera and gamma globulin are both valid for only six months, I normally get at least one does of each on my semi-annual trips to the inoculation centre and it is invariably the cheek that got the tiny cholera shot on which I can't sit next day. The main problem with gamma globulin is that it looks so frightening large that the patient tenses the muscle in fear and that does make a shot hurt more.

I would think that any kid who got 10cc's injected, seriously couldn't walk for days?? Did they expect a kid to go to school after one of those size injections? And how long did it take, even if they split the dose into 2?
