Answers:
You hardly know you are having it, when I had it I can't recall any discomfort!.

It helps to relax, being tense will heighten any discomfort!. Try and distract yourself by doing a mental activity!. When I am at the dentist I often do a multiplication table, i!.e!. 17, 18, 19!. This takes my mind away from what is happening, try it, it'll all be over before you get to 3 x 17!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I haven't had one, unless I was a baby/toddler!. I had a HUGE fear of needles, used to scream and cry the place down when I got one!. I needed a blood test and the frist time I went the nurse tries two times to get blood, didn't work the I went to the doctors and he did it (not painfull, the nurse was but it wasn't so painful I'd cry, just whenyou breathe in with your teeth closed)!. I looked at the needle and my fear is'nt as bad!

Confront it,it won't harm you and it's for your own good!Www@Answer-Health@Com

the actual injection wont hurt just like a sharp scratch!. i would equate the pain level with someone giving you a quick pinch!
Last time i had a tetanus when i woke up the next day my arm felt very heavy and bruised like i'd been punched but nothing major!

It's fine!. It's over in a second!. Just don't look, breathe, relax and think of your daily routine or someone you love!. Take your mind of it and relax your muscles!. It's a nothing! It doesn't hurt!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pinch yourself!. That's as bad as it's going to be!.
Just don't look at it when they do it and keep conversation up about something else while getting the shot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Be reassured by all of these answers, it is a very tiny sting for less than a second!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I really didn't think that it hurt!. Just close your eyes and you will be fine!.
