Unfortunatley some injections do hurt but most of them don't. Sometimes people get themselves so worked up about injections when there is no need. All you have to do is the following
don't look at the needle
think of someting that makes you happy
stare at a spot on the wall
relax - it will be over in a couple of seconds and you will realise that you barely felt a thing

∙ 13y agoIf you want to make an injection hurt less, you could try some remedies like applying an anesthetic cream called a numbing cream. It could help a lot for you not to feel the pain.
Rather than spending over 50 bucks on a tube of cream for an injection, why don't you talk to the nurse who will be giving it. They often have some excellent ideas about being calm, and will often have the injection completed before you even know it. Most injections do not hurt.
Before using any over the counter cream, tell the nurse/doctor. They may or may not think its a good idea. A numbing cream may be a hinderance. If your injection hurts a great deal there may be something wrong. If the area is numb, you will not know it and my find yourself in greater trouble.

How do you make the HPV vaccine hurt less?
I've had my first jab and I'm having the second one tomorrow. When I had it it hurt a bit but you need to relax your arm - I did and it didn't hurt but my friends didn't and their's did hurt. Practice it before you have the jab - if you don't tense your arm it is much less painful! Think about something you like and get yourself a treat (like chocolate) for afterwards. Pinch your leg really hard so that it takes your mind of the injection pain!
Do allergy tests hurt?
It depends. How much they hurt depends somewhat on how tense the muscle that the solution goes into is. If the muscle is completely relaxed, little to no pain may come of it; however, if the muscle is rock solid tense, it might hurt for approximately 5 seconds during the injection. Afterward, there may be soreness at the site of the injection or a generalized ache in your body for a few days. Some other factors in whether a flu shot hurts are how sharp and how big the needle is, how fast the needle is inserted through the skin, and how fast the vaccine is injected. The sharper and smaller the needle is, the less it will hurt, the faster the needle is inserted the less it will hurt, and the slower the vaccine is pushed into the muscle, the less it will hurt. Also, if you will pinch yourself someplace away from where the shot is being given (or have someone else do it), it can make it so you don't feel the shot being given. However, you may still have some soreness later. It is different for different people. Sometimes the actual injection pain is purely a mental anxiety. For some people who might be afraid of needles and shots, the injection can be somewhat painful, and then only hurt slightly for a very short time (minutes to hours) after the initial injection. For some other people, neither the injection is painful nor is there any post-injection pain. Unfortunately, for a few others, the injection is quite painful or the injection site could be sore for a few days after receiving the shot. If soreness or pain lasts more than a few days, contact your health care professional for advice.

I am getting a physical today and I have to get a tdap vaccine I was wondering how to make it hurt less?
Take some ibuprofen before and relax when you are getting your shot. If you are tense and stiff it will hurt more because it is an intramuscular injection. It helps to take a deep breath in and then as you slowly breath out have it given. Also make sure to move your arm throughout the day to keep it lose. I am a nurse.
Why is the tip of an injection needle beveled?
Because the bevel helps the needle cut through the skin with minimum trauma.
