Does a Blood Test hurt ?

Have a massive fear of Needles.

Having a Blood Test soon & dreading it. So scared of needles.

Will it hurt ?
 
imho no.. not too fond of needles myself strange as it may sound l love tattoos tho and have 6 :D l find tho when in the process its fine and painless its just the leading up to it that can be problematic, on a side note tho your veins cant be as hard to find as mine... l ended up been a pin cushion for the cute female doctor last blood test l was the last patient and well we ended up having a coffee and her admiring my tattoos :p (while you may think it strange l knew her previously just had not chat in a long while been prolly 5 years :D)

You just feel a prick. (it had to be said by someone)

What you do is talk to the nurse looking away from your arm, finger etc while its been done and before you know it, it is done.

You wont feel anything if an experienced nurse takes the sample.
 
lmao, and theres me apprehensive about going in but when its been done somehow its interesting to watch :D
 
Blood tests are more a physiological annoyance than anything else, quite why they have to take such a large amount I don't know, but it's really nothing to worry about in the pain department.

Dentists, having your arms severed in a car accident, being shot - twice, burnt alive, drowning, ripped into little pieces by H.R.G's Alien, forced to watch 'Dancing on Ice' by your girlfriend or tortured by the Taliban are of more concern. It's hard to know which of the last two I'd prefer :D .

It hurts as much as somebody pinching your skin tightly.

Only thing that might make you a little nauseous is the blood filling the container, but its nothing to worry about.

If you tell you its your first time, they will talk you through the whole procedure to reassure you.
 
I've had plenty of blood tests. The nurse or phlebotomist or whatever they call them is well aware that people are often a little apprehensive, so no need to feel self-conscious about it. I just turn my head away and think of England and it's all over in a minute. I don't see anything and it doesn't hurt at all.
 
Truth is it depends on who is doing the pricking.

I have to get blood tests on a regular basis and was a bit squeamish at first. The worst thing about it these days is the waiting room, take a good read with you just in case.

Tell the vamp that your nervous, though it might be obvious, look away and think of naked bodies (of your choice), chocolate cakes, pen tops, whatever turns you on. Or keep talking, it kind of takes some of your mind from what is actually going on.

If the vamp is good, and they usually have lots of practice so they are, it won't take more than ten or twenty seconds tops. If the vamp is very good you won't feel a thing and you'll be out of there and wondering what the fuss was about.

Stubbing your toe hurts more.:o
 
Don`t forget to take something heavy with you ,when you have it done .Afterwards your arm will keep reaching for the sky because it is empty and so light. Hold the heavy object in that hand and you will be OK .:confused:

Not A Lot

Blood tests do not worry just look away any pain will last around 0.00000001 of a second,
I have also given blood 49 times and the same goes for that.

I could not do it my self though.
 
The blood test will not hurt at all. You won't even be there at the time.
Taking the sample does not hurt at all. Less than a nettle sting.
