I am 2 years into my monthly Zoladex injections, which at times have been a little uncomfortable during & sore afterwards . However I read somewhere that taking a deep breath in just before the needle is inserted helps. I have as of today had my 4th consecutive totally pain free injection using this method & really wanted to share it.
Hi @gg1974 !
I find this helps too!
The pain depends a bit on the clinician administering it, I find, but the deep breath definitely seems to help.
Yes I do this too. Deep breath in and then slow breath out while it’s being administered I find works too. Also helps if they get just the right spot around where I have my Diep scar because that is still numb 4 years later
