Does an injection in the foot hurt?

Does an injection in the foot hurt? Asking cause I have a foot doctor appointment and I could be getting a shot in my foot cause it's painful every day

I had a steroid injection in the plantar surface of my foot several years ago for plantar fascitis. It wasn't as bad as I'd imagined and the relief I got was well worth it.

Ok thank you

It hurts more than an injection into a spot with more muscle tissue, but it's not unbearable. Nothing compared to a shot in the eye.

It helps if you go in with the knowledge that it's fully bearable instead of letting yourself freak out over the potential for pain. And don't watch.

Think I have the exact same problem with my top tendon on the top of my left foot. I'm probably going to ask the doctor for a shot, I'm thinking that's probably the only thing that will make the pain go away

Yes. It hurt me. The podiatrist I saw reduced the width of my big toes’ nails. To do that he injected it with a numbing agent in two places. One under the footpad behind the second knuckle the other he injected between the first and second toes. That one really hurt.

He did both big toes and I was committed but a little apprehensive when he started numbing the second toe.

Once upon a time when younger I had an infected big toe nail. It had been coming and going for some 10-12 years. One day it got so bad I went to a doctor and he set up a surgical appointment to cut it out.

He injected some numbing agent into the toe (not the whole foot) but it didn't really hurt.

However when back home and the stuff wore out, wham-o, did that toe hurt like hell.

I had to get a couple of stitches between my little toe and the next one (would that be your “ring toes”?). . They had to hold my toes apart for the Novocain shot. It hurt.

Several years ago I got a cut on the top of my foot and it got infected. The doc at the emergency room injected it with zylocane and it hurt like hell. It was awful for about 30 seconds and then it was numb. He lanced the infection and blood shot up to the ceiling in the room.

I had an injection in my foot and i won’t lie - it was super duper painful. like writhing in pain type uncomfortable.

@pinkhoney yikes

Had a cortisone and lidocaine injection in the metatarsals several years ago for an inflamed nerve. First 30 secs hurt like hell, took all my energy not to kick the Dr., but then that was the reason for the nurse holding my leg down.

I always find it interesting Dr's say you will just feel a pinch. I always ask if they know this because they have had it done. Otherwise I don't believe them and expect the worse. 🤣

Does Howdy Doody have wooden balls. Yes- second worst place to take an injection. #1 would be your penis or vagina.

The doctor put a numbing shot on the top of my foot first. Only time it hurt was when he put the needle in a little deeper. Stupid me looked at the needle going in and I got a little woozy but I was ok after a little bit. Doctor gave me an anti inflammatory prescription and my foot feels the best it has in months

Well I saw the podiatrist today and he injected a steroid/lidocaine solution into the joint just under the pad of my fifth toe. First he squinted something to chill it then he plunged the needle in from the side. It didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would but it did hurt, especially towards the end. He told me it would break up the scar tissue. The good news is he sent me for X-rays first. The break was across one side of the joint. After a year it looks like the fragment is fusing with the rest of the bone! I see him in a month for follow up and to see if the swelling on the top left side has subsided.

When I had a nasty ankle sprain, I ended up needing a cortisone shot in my ankle. Completely painless! The doctor numbed the area with a cool spray long before he even injected local anesthetic. The pain relief from my injury after the shot was incredible!
