 2  PID Because of how long the needle is, and how thick the medicine is (therefore how long it takes to fully inject) this shot was excruciating. It also burns going in and I do not think lidocaine was mixed into mine. Nurse told me she hates administering them intramuscularly because of how painful they are, and she asked to do IV push instead and was vetoed. It felt like there was a bullet in my upper arm after, I felt like I was going to hyperventilate due to pain, and even though it was in my arm, I hobbled out of the ER bc of the residual pain after Ask if you can get an IV push instead, or at the very least, have the IM injection mixed with lidocaine. Arm is very sore at injection site 1 day later F 36 1 days

 1  UTI Injection was minimal pain. First day was fine but Second day my right Flank is very painful and more sore as day goes on, along with swelling and a hard knot. Can't touch right Flank at all. Also given Cipro for 7 days. This is day 2 and still burning & hurt when I urinate. In 2019 I received Rocephin intravenously in ER an didn't have any pain at all. Will never have a Flank shot again. After reading all the side effects and comments about Rocephin & Cipro, I will never get them again. F 66 1 days

 1  Stage 3neuro lyme I received shot first in right glut and then in left. Three days later muscle pain in right side feels like the worst muscle tear you could imaging. Can hardly walk or lift leg.
