Zoladex injections

Hi bas my name is Steve I also have zoladex for life the doctor puts a numbing spray on first and it’s ok . I had it done by a nurse once and as she went to give me my injection I went woh where’s tHe spray and she said I never spray it . It didn’t actually hurt that much. But I now make sure I book it with the doctor ( with the spray )

Hi BAS,

I've never had the numbing jab quite simply because I wasn't offered it. There is a brief bit of pain at the end of the jab and it only lasts a second or two. I usually distract myself by digging a finger nail into a finger enough to feel some pain, and it's over.

If it hurt more, I might go for the numbing jab.

Best wishes

Thanks for that Steve. I think I'll stick with the numbing jab first, which officially makes me a wimp I guess!

Best wishes,

Bas

Hi Bas

Same as you I am on Zoladex for life but never been offered a numbing spray.  My mileage varies with the pain, sometimes its worse than others but I think given the choice I would go with the spray.  No way is that being a wimp.

Best of luck

Steve
