Was lifting my sleeve and an older nurse came in told me to lay on my stomach because the shot was on the bum. Omg when I got injected the needle wasnt bad but the pain was so bad and burned from from the antibiotic I almost passed out and even when it was over the pain throbbed so bad. Going oral for now on [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Author: Peter (Watts) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thursday, February 06, 2014, 02:53: pm I will be entering hospital in a few weeks for major surgery. I have been told that when the IV line is removed further medications will be oral but some will be intramuscular and in my bottom. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I had 5 spine surgeries and between all 5, only got 1 small shot in my butt. Other then that, everything was intravenous. I only let them give me the shot because I figured it would be a small one. It was to dry me up she said. It still hurt afterwards so that was bad. Its my understanding, the only reason to give a shot of Penicillin etc, is because it works instantly. What you would need wouldnt need to work that instant.... In any case, let us know. PS. I had 5 spine surgeries because of 1 herniated disc and I kept having them redo it till they got it right. Im fine now.... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Also got some other medications injected. for last couple of days I was in hospital and I wasn't only one. There was a lady in next bed who had Hysterectomy and I heard nurse telling her to turn over as injection had to go in her bottom and she still had IV connected. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: tom [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Wednesday, March 19, 2014, 11:32: am Yes if they remove your IV line and you need some medication that cannot be given by mouth then you will get a shot as long as it can be given IM. Sometimes patients lose their IV access for various reasons anyway and they have to be given IM meds anyway. Years ago I had to have a procedure done in day surgery and anesthesia was not needed. It was still surgery but on my arm and he used lidocaine and I never felt a thing. I had to have two shots of antibiotic though and they had to be given IM since I did not have a IV.
