A member asked:

Diagnosed with tendonitis on right wrist, what i want to know is that will the injection hurt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Everyone reacts : Differentials and have their own pain thresholds. A needle is a needle. You can ask the doctor to let you know when he is injecting and you can cough when he is doing that. (into your hand not on the doctor) i find coughing to be a good distractor.
