Zoladex Injection - does it hurt

[catsrule40]

Hi

I had my first zoladex injection when i was asleep during my laporoscopy so nervous about my next one on Monday. I'm not great with needles so wondering how much it hurts if its an implant going in Do they use numbing cream?

thanks, Sarah

The nurse at my GP's surgery didn't use any numbing cream whereas the first one I had with the consultant he used local anaesthetic. It does hurt but I'd say it's comparable to accidentally jabbing yourself in the stomach with a sharp door handle ;0) It's really not that bad.

It’s a sting no big deal just breath in and release when it’s in and u will be fine

thanks for replying I had it this morning and not bad at all - just a bit of a sting for a few seconds. Thanks, Sarah
