Default Which hurts more? An IV Catheter or the Hepatitis B Injection? - 06-04-2010, 10:07 PM

If the IV Catheter hurts more, AWESOME! I'm prepared for my shot! IF the HepB one hurts more than... How much more does it hurt?
What can I do to prepare myself and make the short hurt less.

Thanks Guyssss

A Hep B shot is nothing. A catheter hurts a lot more. The Hep B shot is just like any other shot. If you are still worried i would just try to relax and not look at the doctor when he or she gives you the shot. Youll feel a little pinch and it will be over with. GOOD LUCK!

If they do it right neither is very painful at all. I would say the they are about equal. If they both go bad you really want the Iv Catheter shot to go worse. A bad intramuscular shot will hurt longer if done badly.

The catheter hurts more & often has to be repeated if they can't find a vein. At least the shot is a one time pinch. I'd take a shot over having to have someone hunt for a vein anytime. (I've had both & done both)

Trust me you don't want a catheter.

The immunization will be done using a much smaller needle than almost all IV catheters. I'd guess it will hurt much less, and be much quicker.
