Fuck Needles

I've had two epidurals injected in my spine. Those needles are very large.

And it would have been a very bad time to sneeze since they told me if I moved I could become paralyzed.

My mom says she never tried cocaine because she was afraid to sneeze.

I also had an ass cyst when I was a kid, that was not pleasant

And I was once stuck outside in far below zero temperatures for hours and when I got back indoors my hands nearly exploded from the pain of re-establishing body heat

Apparently I was lucky not to have gotten actual frost bite which is just evidence that as a child I was not smart

Zoel

did you get stuck outside on purpose

Kadith

This one time I had no serious injuries or medical issues.

It didn't hurt at all.

No but I did venture out knowing full well that I (a) needed a house key and (b) needed, I don't know, gloves

As I said, not smart

Uriel

I got outside without gloves all the time.

I don't even own gloves.

But I really need them.

Generally I'm fine with needles, but the spinal tap left me a three-day migraine and the penecillin shot I got at boot felt like taking a bullet in the ass cheek

The Geek

When I had the biopsy done of my thyroid, they first put in a little local anesthetic to numb the area before they put the big damn needle in.

Problem is, it only really numbed the surface and when the big needle got past the top few layers of skin and down into my neck, it hurt like a motherfucker. And once it was in, they had to pull back on the syringe to pull the biopsy out, which hurt even more.

And then they had to go in a second time.

worst thing I've ever felt. I cried.

Probably a wise decision.

Oh I didn't think this was a public affair.

I uh.. uhm.. I've got to go. Yeah. go

Here's one that I get to do quite often... be advised this is SFW and there's no gore, but some people might be a little leery because it's drilling a needle into your bone.

I present, the EZ IO Intraosseous Access Drill. This is the exact model we carry on the trucks.

Spoiler:

BTW: Hurts less than a 16g peripheral going in.

I just fucking threw up in my mouth, thanks

Man, those catheter needles don't hurt at all - the ones that go in your vein.
You haven't lived until you've used one to lance a sebaceous cyst in your earlobe with no freezing.
There's nothing quite like the pressure in a sebaceous cyst in a confined area, or the pain it wreaks when you try and put a thing in it to pop it.

Jordyn

Oh earlobe cysts.

I get those too.

THANKS MOM FOR YOUR WONDERFUL GENES THAT GIVE ME ALL THESE CYSTS.

I also got a cyst on like...my jawline and one on my chest just below my neck. The doctor didn't numb me for either of those, just got a scalpel and went to town. Hurrah.

Uriel

I have a few things called skin tags on my neck.

Makes getting my neck trimmed at the barber a pain.

Raneados

1) uriel you know you can get rid of those with friggin string right

2) haha that drill video doesn't mess around, it's just like
hey here's some sort of thing on a BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT DRILLED

Uriel

But they bleed rane.

and I am a slight hemophobe.

Trillian

wah wah wah

Raneados

they're on your neck, not like you can see them

Wombat!!

My mom is really good at giving injections. Does them overhand, like a dart.

I always get injections at home, so it's kind of unnerving coming home to a parent holding a syringe with your name on it, but I got used to it after the third or fourth time.

As7

I don't like needles but I'm glad to know that I can get over it because otherwise I wouldn't be able to give blood.

Take my blood...TAKE IT!

Artreus

I hate needles and have had this the toenail thing done THREE TIMES

As7

But seriously.

Don't be stingy with your blood, people.

Save a life.

Let your blood mingle with mine!

No Great Name

I'm here to join the plionidal cyst club.

So did you guys have to have yours left open?

And then the gauze repacked by your mother??

Yup.

Jordyn

They put a weird...uh, string like thing in mine, and then just took it out after a few days.

I'm actually concerned that mine is coming back...
