All I have to say is "Holy Mother!" I had to get a steroid shot in my left hip, and antibiotic in the right one for bronchitis... I asked the nurse if they hurt, and she said "No. At least I don't think so." She was a petite little lady, probably 5'5, and like 120lbs. So here I am thinking, ok cool, I got this. Left one goes in, I don't even feel it. I chuckle to myself about how my butts so big I don't even feel them. Right one goes in and it stings a little but nothing major. Pull my pants up and I'm all excited to hopefully feel better................ and then the burning kicks in.............. Ok seriously lady?! So I start rubbing them (like she said would help.) And yup, just as I thought, IT'S GETTING WORSE. I got them at 12 this afternoon. It's now 9:22pm and was just bent over counter because I felt like I was having contractions. (And yes after 3 kids, and definitely not prego now, I know what contractions feel like!) I feel like if someone asks if it's going to hurt, at least tell them. "Ya, it's going to burn a bit, and you're going to be sore. But it doesn't last forever, and you'll be all better when they're done!" At least then I could have prepared myself... Well played nurse... well played!!

They hurt like hell. I am 23 and weigh 110 pounds. I work in a ICU and I have been taking care of several NIN1. I had a patient that passed away from this and we were all suggested to get a shot of rocephin to cover us incase. I have given this to a lot of patients and they all said it burns. Not wanting to be a big baby in front of my co-workers I decided to have my fiance who is also a nurse give me the injection. I went to his unit and told him what they had suggested and he said he would give me the shots after we got off. In the morning he came over to my apartment. I had coffee as I watched him mix up the rocephin and drew it up in two small syringes 1.5 cc in each. Are you ready he asked. Hell no. Knowing that you are about to make my ass really sore I told him. I went into my bedroom and took off my scrub pants. I had on a tiny pair of blue silk panties. He pulled those down exposing my tan bottom. This was his first look at my bare butt. You have one cute little rear as he spanked my left butt 3 times before plunging the needle in my butt. I screamed out as he started injecting. It burns really bad. He rubbed my hip for the last next five minutes and then again smacked me hard on the right cheek three times and plunged the other needle in my butt. I was crying this time when he finished. he spent a better part of the morning putting ice packs on my sore butt and massaging it.
It has been 2 days and my butt is still very tender. I am here to tell you they hurt and if they tell you they don't they are full of s***
