I have two Emgality shots sitting in my refrigerator right now. I’m terrified of needles and I have heard that these are especially painful. Honestly, how bad does the injection hurt?

Hi there @jsp68. Emgality shots give a pinch, then its over. I understand though, I spent more time worrying about the shot than it actually took to get it over with.

Might it be easier if someone else administers the shot for you?

Have you tried giving the shots in the side of your legs? Honestly as painful as that sounds for me it really isn’t. One thing a nice seasoned nurse taught me is to take a rough cloth and rough up the area where you’re giving the injection and boy does that help. Good luck.

I get shots in my head for occipital neuralgia and they are very painful. I have a high tolerance for pain though. Some can’t give a shot very well. If pain is going behind your ears it could’ve turned to. What I have. Ask your neurologist
