Zoladex ‘hack’
I have been on Zoladex for a while. And if you’re currently taking this injection, you know the needle is freakin’HUGE!
I’ve had ice packs applied prior in attempt to numb the area — it’s never been an effective method of pain management for me, it always hurts, and I always have tenderness and bruising afterward.
I’ve also had no ice applied in the past — holy fucking painful!
Well today I think I cracked the code — I asked to take it laying down on a bed (instead of a chair) and it was virtually painless! Granted, I do have a high threshold for pain but I’m telling you, today’s appointment was so easy and pain-free!
It was a bit challenging for the nurse because if you’re slim, it may harder for them to pinch the belly fat in this position, but it was still doable.
If you’re on Zoladex, I urge you to try taking it laying down next time!
Sending love to you all 💕
