IV: It is manageable . Just a tiny small quick prick. Easier than giving blood!

No: There is a small pinch like a blood test. After that you won't remember very much.

Varies: Perception of pain is an individual characteristic. The level of discomfort of having an IV started can vary depending on where the IV site is. Some doctors may use a topical spray over the anticipated IV site to "freeze" the skin before starting the IV to lessen any discomfort.

Not really: It depends on how good the person starting the IV is. Often nurses or doctors are very proficient and the IV placement is quick and easy.
