Answers:
My daughter had all three and they do hurt alot. I think the reason it hurts so much is because of the viscosity. You do not have to get all 5 shots at 1 time. That is not fair to you at all. Have you parent ask the Dr to space them out get the HPV shot and then another shot. Go back in a few weeks and get the other 3. That is what I did for my daughter and she was very thankful.Health Question & Answer

I don't know why it hurts so much. I had my 2nd shot a few weeks ago. It wasn't too bad... but shots hurt different people differently. I suggest you ask them to stick you somewhere that won't be too painful to move. Like, if you're right handed, have it in your left shoulder and plan to not use that arm for a while. Mine 2nd one didn't hurt for very long. I hope yours doesn't.

Much sympathy. Good luck with it.Health Question & Answer

hey, i find it helps when you take an advil or tylenol right before (the person doing the needle might tell you what and what not you can take) and you can also but EMLA patches which numbs the skin. you can usually get 2 for 10 dollars. pain is normal, hope this helps!Health Question & Answer
