Very scared of injections (needles)?

Question

I am intensely afraid of injections,I feel faint,weak knees,butterflies in the stomach.

I recently received a pennicillin shot in my butt,and I was so nervous about it that I accidently peed a little while during the shot.

Have you ever heard of this happening (accidently peeing)to other people while they were getting a shot?

I am facing a steroid shot on monday for severe allergies and I am scared to death,I am afraid I will pee again during the shot.

Again,have you ever heard of anyone doing this during a shot?

Sorry about the dumb questions

Answer 4

Hey this isn't a dumb question at all! I'm 19, and I'm just as scared as you are. When I was younger my mom could never get me to get shots, and I ended up not getting many that I was supposed to get (my mom was a teacher so I guess she had a way to make that happen). To this day, I'm not sure how many shots I got, but it certainly wasn't many because I don't remember any. I hate blood tests as well. But that is much easier. I just look away. Look, I can't really give u advice since I myself are in pretty much the same situation. But what helps me when I get blood tests, pericings, or tattoos is to be tired! That way, I don't pay much attention to it, and I barly notice it. Also look away, and don't think about it. Concentraite on something else.  

Answer 5

when i was little i was TERRIFIED of needles. But then  one day when i was getting shots i didn't even pay attention and she put the shots in me already. And i was so proud of myself cause i didn't scream or anything!

So just relax and it will be fine!

Good Luck!

Answer 6

Answer 7

ive never heard of anyone peeing from getting a shot, but i have heard of people being so scared they pee their pants & some people shout out "that scared the p*** out of me!"  so it might be that ur just sooo scared of it that u pee a little.  im sure its normal, but u shuld have asked the doctor who gave u the shot.  next time just ask him/her ♥♥♥
