that f’kin hurt!
Okay, I know. "Men can't handle anywhere near the amount of pain that women can!" Go ahead, I know most of the women that are reading this are thinking it.
Yes, I suck at pain. I'm a big wimp, I don't like it. I've been having issues with my elbow since my accident. To clear up some of the issue, my orthopedist has been giving me shots of cortizone. Have you ever had one? Dude. The needle is like the size of Rhode Island, and they inject something right into the tendon.
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Okay, I'm a wimp, yes. Holy crap that hurts, and the thing that pisses me off the most is that it always hurts more after the shot than before.
Going to stretch more, wear a brace when I work out, and go easy on it for a while. Say a prayer.

Forget this male/female stuff. Needles SUCK, and I can’t handle them at ALL. You are a brave and smart man for sucking up and getting the treatment you need. I’d be second guessing it and finding ANY OTHER WAY!!! (I hope it feels better soon.)

I agree with Amy – I did natural childbirth because I didn’t want a needle inserted into my spine! Feel better Mike!

I’m gonna give you this one. You won’t find me anywhere near a needle the size of Rhode Island. Where you will find me is running away, screaming like a little girl.
Hope you feel better soon.

A: I wish. As much as the needle sucks, it’ll feel 100% better in a few days.
C: No sweat, I knew who you mistook me for
T: Thanks for the visual, I can totally see it
Gonna go ice it.

I’m going to go against the grain here and say that you are being a big baby.
LOL … kidding. Needles are scary!

Here via Mike. I hate needles, to. And it seems I keep finding myself in sitations where they are called for. 7 injections to travel to Africa, for instance! And a whomping big needle in the belly for my amnio. I’m such a needle phobe I went through natural childbirth just to avoid a needle in my back.
