Freaking out about 5 shots, especially the hpv one.?!
Question: Freaking out about 5 shots, especially the hpv one..?
I have to get the second of these shots monday along with my second hepatitis a and hepatitis b shots, tetanus, and meningitis. I hate shots and i am dreading all of these but the hpv one is what i am most scared about. The first one was the most painful shot I have ever had. It burned and stung when it went in and my arm was sore for a week. I don't know how i am going to get through this. Im 14 and I cried last time, and I'm afraid the second shot is going to be worse plus I have to get 5 shots that day. What can I do to not be scared and make it hurt less.? Any secrets (places to get the shot, things to do during it, medicine to take, anything).? Health Question & Answer

make sure you NEVER tense your arm because the needle will go in slower and hurt more.
I always look away and try to focus reading on some of the posters in the room.Health Question & Answer
