Am I first on CC to get this?

Now that you are under the direct control of Bill Gates I await details of what he is making you do.

It's when you become unresponsive and go blue all over you want to worry.

No it's not. Try getting a testosterone injection. The needles are flipping huge - and that's from a nurse !

I had a steroid injection in the spine C6 a few years back due to a trapped nerve in my crumbled C6, I was awake and laying on my back (in agony) but before the steroid jab they gave me an epidural now feck me that was a huge needle and unbearably painful, obviously I had to keep completely still, i'm not sure if it didnt work but the steroid injection still bloody hurt.

My now ex wife was waiting back in my room as they wheeled me back in, she said I looked grey, mind you it did the trick after 18 months of heavy opioids use for pain one painful and expensive steroid injection did the trick.

Why couldn't they give you a local anaethestic before giving you the epidural?

maybe they did but my eyes were on stalks looking at the needle, the pain wasn’t from the skin piercing it was going into my spine that hurt, a weird electric shock like pain in one foot and the left side of my face, whilst staying dead still, lots of cold sweats

I kid you not it was like a drinking straw

Rule #1 of Needle-phobics club is: Don't look at the needle!

Rule #2 of Needle-phobics club is: Don't look at the needle!

Rule #3 of Needle-phobics club is: Don't look at the needle!

I had 4 years worth of blood tests and dental treatment but I didn't see even one needle. I did get to see a lot of wallpaper, posters, window blinds etc.

I looked a similar colour when they gave my wife an epidural during prolonged labour. Christ it looked nasty in the spine, couldn't understand why the wife had a right go at me for eating a Jaffa cake bar at the time. It almost put me of it

Flu jab done early September as it is every year, normally about £12 at Boots, this year was free as I am 65 in March.

oh crap now I know why it was so big, it was a tube with a camera that he shoved the injection though, in fact he did say that and had two screens mounted above the bed, peeps look after your backs

Ah yes I've had a few of them - shoulder, back and, TWICE, into my left nut

, I just told my wife this and how lame she was over that little epidural..... I have always said it wasn’t complications with the birth that caused an emergency cesarean , it was her that was too posh to push

Blimey @Brandane I think you are.
It looks a big injection ?

The actual vaccine per dose is 0.3mL, so guess there’s extra saline in those syringes?

The vaccine data is here

Needles don’t bother me at all, just as well given how many steroid injections and ops Ive had. Most recently 6 into the ankle joint and tendon sheath. It was kind of cool seeing the one in the joint sticking out on the X-ray screen
