I’m sorry. My injections aren’t that bad, but I can see how theyd become an issue. ---

> [@Rainstorm](#): > > usually it’s not bad but every once in awhile I get a bad one It may happen when they inject it in the wrong site. If it’s in your arm it can’t be too high or too low. I had a nurse give me an injection that was too high and it hurt for two weeks too. ---

I’m not a fan of injections, but I’m a huge fan of skilled nurses/doctors who do it well. Because you don’t really feel a thing nor does it last as noticeable ache - been quite lucky in this regard; even students have generally been quite good at it for me. ---

I got my injection a couple days ago and I’m still sore but it wasn’t that bad of an injection. All things considered ---
