Almost passed out during injection today.

Is "Squeamish" the word?

Yeah, you know what freaks me out? The thought of a needle hitting the bone. Just the idea if it tapping a bone, and imagining what kind of pain that would bring. Or a needle breaking off inside if moving a muscle. Like hitting the bone and moving real quick because you spaz.
Could you imagine if that would happen?

Just little paranoid everyday thoughts are healthy. They keep you from doing stupid things.

Just throwing these out there. lol I humor myself. (EEeeeK!)

It dosent hurt when you hit bone. I had a swollen elbow and I drained it with a 18g pin and hit bone. Anyway back on subject, I inject slowly, once you brake the outer layer of skin it dosent hurt anymore. Ive done hundreds and hundreds of injections and only had to repin a couple times because of blood when I aspirated. Youll get it down.

I hear you. I had a serious knee injury, and had my knee "tapped".
The needle was an 18gauge. I don't dare to say it was larger than 18gauge, because I wasn't too happy about it and I don't want to blow it out of proportion. The needle was massive.
It didn't hurt while moving through my joint getting out all the fluid.
The initial penetration was not to my liking. The doc put nitrogen on my knee first. Very cold.

Good times
