IM injections are given deep into a muscle where the medication is then absorbed quickly by surrounding blood vessels.
Prior to the consultation you are asked to complete a medical questionnaire and read important information. Please ensure that you fully understand all the information, risks and benefits, side effects etc. You will have time to discuss any concerns at the consultation
Needle phobia?
Here are some tips to help when you have a fear of needles:
Book appointments for injections in the morning, so you don’t spend all day worrying about it.
Try relaxation techniques such as mindfulness or breathing exercises to help you relax before your injection.
Try the Applied Tension Technique to help increase your blood pressure. Practise this technique three times a day in the week leading up to your injection.
Sit in a comfortable position and:
Tense the muscles in your legs, arms and upper body for 10-15 seconds or until your face starts to feel warm.
Release the tension in your muscles.
After 20-30 seconds tense your muscles again until you feel the warmth rising in your face again.
Repeat this process five times. If you develop a headache afterwards, take care not to tense the muscles in your head and neck. Check with your doctor first to see if this technique is suitable for you.
Ask a family member or friend for support.
Make sure to tell the person giving your injection that you have a fear of needles or injections so that they can talk to you about your concerns and help to make you feel comfortable.
Remember that injections only tend to hurt a little.
Don’t look at the injection. Try distracting yourself instead by talking to someone or looking at your phone.
Remind yourself of the importance of receiving the medication. It may help to prevent you or your loved ones from getting sick or help to treat a condition you already have.
If a needle phobia continues to prevent you from receiving the injections you need, talk to your doctor about how to overcome your phobia.
