I just received a steroid injection for inflammation and swelling an antibiotic shot at the ER last night because i was on six days worth of oral antibiotics of Amox Clav 875 mg which werent helpig my symptoms and I only got worse. I have reccuring annoying strep every month since november and i cant wait to get those suckers removed!

But to answer your question, Antibiotics shot hurt yes but the pain isnt excruciating. Dont worry. For me the worst part was when she inserted the needle and began to push out the liquid four times until it was all injected thoroughly . It makes your muscle sore and its a much thicker needle but it honestly only lasts like 2 minutes ! I received my shot in my thigh which I much prefer over my butt or hip. But Im also stuying premed so i like looking at needles I find it fascinating!! Anyway the pain is more than what youre probably used to from regular shots but its managable and the way you feel after the shot is well worth 2 mins of muscle soreness/pain! It is morning now and I feel great i can finally swallow water and speak without a weird muffled voice! Its amazing! Good luck to you and dont be afraid!! Oh and i also just sat upright in the hospital bed when I received it. Try to talk to the nurse about anything really it makes you feel more comfortable than sitting quietly!
