from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Getting an injection hurts and you don't want one but it keeps or gets you well so you need it. Follow these steps and you will be fine.
Steps
- Before you go to the doctor's or hospital figure out which arm you are going to have it in.
- After figuring out which arm to do it in, ice it till it freezes. It may hurt but your shot won't. Alternatively, ask the person who is injecting you to anaesthetise your arm (make it go to sleep).
- Once you get there and they are ready for you to get your injection, think of a story in which you have hit your arm or someone else did. Keep thinking about your story.
- Talk to the nurse. Tell her a story.
- Don't look at the needle.
- Ask your nurse to not say "one, two, three" before you get the injection. It makes you lock and that will just make the injection hurt more.
- Get ice cream from your favourite ice cream parlour and have a good rest of the day.
- Just remember to move your arm so that it doesn't hurt you for the next week.
Tips
- Do what the steps tell you to do, follow them all the way and you will be fine.
- The person injecting you should give your arm an anaesthetic. If not, ask for one.
- Move your arm for two to three days.
Warnings
- If you don't do what the steps say then your arm is going to hurt.
- Also, your arm will feel sore and this can last for multiple days.
- If you go to school or you have some rough friends, don't tell anyone that you had the injection. They will purposefully punch you on your arm as a joke.
- However, if you know your friends well, and they will do as you say, tell them not to play rough with you.
