Are you afraid of the injection?

[HelpfulWoman]

Which injection?

I kind of hate needles now completely with the amount of times i had blood drawn and injections in pregnancy. But the one that stuck with me most was the one I got in secondary/high school as they seemed to hurt the most in my brain.

[Asker]

What kind of things did you experience in middle school and high school?

[HelpfulWoman]

school?
a quick google shows it was probably the booster for Tetanus, diphtheria and polio

[HelpfulWoman]

no that was in the arm.

Injections as in shots? No I'm not. I have had plenty of shots in my life and they don't bother me. I am assuming that is what you are talking about since this is in Health and Fitness topic. I get a yearly flu shot and that is about it. I have had plenty of injections or shots in my life though. As a young adult I don't get many outside that yearly one for the flu. I do get some people have real fears of needles though. I have a friend like that.

How do you cope with burning needles?

[_Maya_]

Never had a burning needle. What is that?

[Asker]

For example, injections such as antibiotics or B12 cause burning sensation.

[_Maya_]

Sounds like an allergic reaction if it burns. When I get a shot there is that quick pinch or sting when they put the needle in and then nothing. The flu shot gives me a sore arm but that is it. Not burning.

[_Maya_]

I get them in the arm.

[Asker]

Would you allow it to be done if necessary?

[Asker]

Would you allow?

Answer?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Not sure. If you can never look when they're doing it, does it still count as fear or just anxiousness?
