im 17 an i have to get a blood test tomorrow, ive never gotton blood taken b4 and im SO nervous. i can take shots, and the shots u get when u get a cavity filled, those pich, but its not that bad. im not petrified of needles, i just really dont like them. anyways i also am going on vacation in 2 weeks, should i just go and get it done with now, or wait till after my vacation?
Answer:
The only part that can hurt is they put something tight around your arm first to make the vein more prominent, and that hurts if it is too tight -- I always tell them if it hurts, and then they loosen it. The prick itself is nothing. Get it done now so you won't be dreading it.
The advice above about not watching is good -- you may not even feel it if you don't look.
Thinking about it is worse than doing it. If you can handle injections (shots) then this shouldn't be horrible, since it's the same kind of idea.
its not as bad as a shot, just a smaller pinch. It's mind over matter.
Just do it.
they hurt pretty bad actually they dont
It's not more painful then the tooth numbing needle!!
lol just don't look at it and think of something different, and you'll be fine.Good luck
nope, since when do needles going inside your body hurt? lol
Go Get it done and yes it does hurt but not really more than a normal shot. I hate them , but im super scared of needles.
Get it over and done with now, its not a massive needle just a normal one, so it will probly feel like the cavity filling shots. If your still nervous, take sumone in whose hand you can hold :)
Don't worry.mostly they don't hurt and they certainly aren't as bad as the shots when you go to the dentist.
Try and relax while they are doing it.
Good luck
A.D.

No!It is not...
just get it done so you don't have to stress about it. they don't really hurt. there's a little pinch when they stick the needle in but other than that, it shouldn't be that bad. in my opinion, it is worse to get a shot at the dentist so if you're fine with with that, a blood test should be fine. i get blood tests twice a month and i still get nervous even though i know it's nothing! just the feeling of being in a medical places is enough to make you nervous. it's natural to be nervous but try not to worry too much.
1st don't watch! 2nd don't try to jerk away!! tell the nurse how you feel able needles, she will be more gentle with you plus she will be prepared if you pass out
Get it done now. If you leave it it will ruin your vacation. It won't hurt, just a small prick then it will be over.
Don't sweat it! Blood tests are easy and painless. But, you need to get the "butterfly" the needle is small and it connects to the container by a tube. This way when they move the container the needle barely moves. I ask for the butterfly every time and I have never had any pain, except for when they put it in and take it out there is a small pinch. The best part about blood tests is you can basically start using your arm like normal a few minutes afterwords. There is no pain afterwords like a shot does to you. It's great! and definitely the following day you would have forgotten all about it and you would be using your arm normally. Don't be worried and just pray you get a good nurse that will take care of you and not a careless one. Other than that don't worry just get it over with so you won't be fretting over it while on vacation. Good luck and Bye!
if you afraid from small needle then yeah

Pain wise its the same as getting a shot. The deference
is instead of putting something in, they are taking something
out. Fear not.
i've had a ton of blood tests because my doctor thinks something is wrong with me everytime i go so he orders like five blood tests all the time. i hate it . . . i'm going in like two weeks AGAIN. ugh. yeah they hurt but it's nothing horrible. But one time when i was little i had a really really tall muscular guy and he scared me
If you've had shots of any kind, especially Novocaine for cavities, it's definitely no worse than that. A good, experienced phlebotomist (the specialist who draws blood) is actually painless and you might not even feel anything at all. Not to worry. Get it out of the way. It only takes a few minutes. You'll be fine
there are 3 main places they take blood, the finger tip ,around the elbow, or from the wrist.
The finger is a small prick that goes away fast then they usually massage the blood out of the finger, no worse than getting a small splinter for a second, but will be slightly sore a while as if you just have taken up guitar and have been playing hard.
The elbow they tie a tube around the arm slightly tight to make your veins pop up then they put the needle in, it feels like a small sting, but far less than a bee sting. You will be sore on that one spot.
The wrist will feel the slightly worse compared to the elbow simply cause you have more nerves closer together but this is not done as often.
go ahead and do the test you will be fine in 2 weeks time.
