Tetanus Shots!, Hate them too? Options

[SortedDetails]

So I had to go to the ER after stepping on a piece of glass that was huge. Everyone thought I might have to have stitches, but it wasn't so. I however had to get a nasty tetanus shot in my right arm.

I woke up this morning with such a pain... As if someone gave me a froggy instead of a shot. -.-

So, the point of this is... Whens the last time you had a tetanus, what happened, and did it bother you as much as mine is bothering me?

Man. Those things make my arm feel like a 100 pounds. Theyyy hurrtt! I had to get one done a couple of years ago, just a regular check-up shot thing, and it hurrttt bad! Yuck.

Did really help curb my fear of sharp pointy things, also known as needles, thats for sure.

[SortedDetails]

Yeah, totally. Needles in general make me woozy.

Tetanus shots aren't too bad, IMO. Last time I got one was a few months ago, after cutting my thumb open with my shears at school.
My arm was sore later, but when she gave me the shot, I was fine.
Needles don't bother me too bad. Though, I'd rather get my blood taken anyday, than get a shot.
Even though, the nurses usually can't ever find my veins, and it takes forever and such. Thats always funnnn

Urgh. Shots, getting my blood taken...any of that freaks me out. I am not a fan of them at all. My arm always gets so sore afterwards!

Last time I had a needle stuck in my arm was when I was tested for TB (being in a hospital and all that). I had to get one in each forearm!

But whenever I get a shot, I always ask beforehand for a thin needle if possible.

a few years ago, my next one is like soon, ew. yea it hurt after, like my arm went weak like FLAP

I hate needle period. There such a pain, and everything else i could think about right now.

[*SayBloodyMary*]

I used to haaaaate all needles, but I'm pretty much over that, though.

I think the last time I had a tetanus was before I went to Costa Rica, and I had 3 shots at once, so I can't really say which one was worst...

[Crash2]

I can't remember the last time I got a tetanus shot. The last one I had was for TB.

Getting blood drawn freaks me out though.

[weed]

EEEK! theyre almost as bad as BOOSTER shots; the dang needle is faking huge ohh the joys of starting school.

[cheerbee07]

last time i got one was about 3 weeks ago. it hurt like heck, then i was dizzy for a few hours afterwords. not very pleasant, haha.

my arm was sore the next day, but no froggy-ness, sorry!


-edit-

should this be in health?

[SortedDetails]

You know, I wasn't sure if it should go in health or not.. But I figured if I placed it in the wrong place, it would get moved, rofl.

-P.S- My arm is STILL killing me. I sleep on my right side a lot, and I tried napping, and kept waking up in pain from turning over on my right side. (!)

Suprisingly, I have yet to get a shot that makes me hurt or ache or feel like 100lbs of arm, other than a novacaine shot, but that's the intent of that. A few weeks ago I was walking around this house my parents bought (as an investment property) and I stepped on this board that I thought was seemingly safe, but there were apparently nails (so I found out) sticking straight up, and one went right through my shoe and poked my foot. Luckily, it didn't go through the calice.

Oh my lordie.

I got my tetanus shot last year. I was so freaked out, after I got the shot I passed out. Then hit the counter, then the floor.

I was out for a few minutes. My face was all messed up. I almost had to get stitches on my chin, I still have the scar.
