The Buzzy 4 Shots sounds like a clever idea. It sounds like it serves as a distraction and maybe you can't distinguish between the vibrations and the needle. Maybe you don't even know when the needle goes in. I get octreotide injections every 4 weeks and even though the nurses constantly have the need to tell me it freaks them out to give me the injection because the needle is soooo big (why tell the recipient this?) I really don't have that much pain with it. Maybe they are just skilled. It's funny that I seem to feel pain more when they pull it out than when they put it in, but it's very tolerable for me. I do sometimes feel like the area is bruised for a few days afterwards when I lie on that spot so good to know heat packs may help with that. Thanks for your post.
