Subject: Re: 2012 Flu Shot Author: john [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Saturday, September 22, 2012, 09:12: am In reply to: Michelle 's message, "2012 Flu Shot" on Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 03:52: am Ok, once again, I asked this on the rectal temp site. Where do you people live? Every person on the planet I've ever encountered who's gotten a flu shot always gets it in the arm. Now I read about girls in blue running shorts, like that's not an introduction, who take friends to male nurses and get flu shots in the butt. Again, my wife gets one every year and even at the doctors office, they never offer it in her butt, never mention it. Are these true forums or a sanitized attempt at turning each other on? Just asking. Curious. If you want I can make up some real humdingers about fantasy girls getting all sorts of shot in their butts. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Most people do get theit flu shot in their arm. There are more people who are willing to get it in their bottoms after I explain that it hurts less especially the next day. if the person has a larger arm mass that is one thing , but there are a lot of girls with thin arms and little muslce so it does hurt less in their butt.

I am 20 year old and normally don't like shots. I had worn a tight fitting blouse and I could not get my sleeve up. The male nurse told me I could get it in my butt. I lowered my jeans and he poked me in the butt and I hardly felt it. No pain. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: 2012 Flu Shot Author: Pitb52 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, December 21, 2012, 12:59: pm Most of the stories are BS and can be easily detected by the descriptions. To answer your other question, most nurses don't want to give shots in the butt because it is no longer the recommended injection site and the fear put into them of accidentally hitting the sciatic nerve. Also if the label instructions for the medicine specify to give it in the deltoid muscle (arm) they won't do it differently, especially younger nurses because that is how they have been trained. Me, I want to get all my shots in my butt because I hate the soreness and ache afterwords in my arm from some of the medicines such as tetanus shots. The shots themselves rarely hurt. I explain that to the nurse and there have been times I refused a shot because they wouldn't accomodate me. I have had to change doctors a couple of times in the past due to moving, etc. and I now make it a point to discuss this with the doctor at my first visit to make sure it is acceptable. If not I find another doctor. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
