Today I've had a injection of steroids in the joint! It hurt, and it was very, very uncomfortable. I was terrified of the thing beforehand and spent the whole procedure breathing as if I was in labour, trying to keep calm...
After it ended my blood pressure fell and I felt weak, they offered me some water and after a few minutes I left, went to the toilet, put my head down so I wouldn't faint (I frequently have low blood pressure and do faint if I'm not careful).
I can't quite decide if I was a drama queen or if I was ok.
There was a nurse by my side all the time (she offered to hold my hand) so I suppose some people DO freak out and need to be restrained by the nurse?
Please, tell me an ultra sound guided injection in the foot is a bloody unpleasant thing and I was not being precious!
I've given birth twice with no epidural, and I still found the whole thing this morning, where the doctor moves the needle around to get in the right bit incredibly uncomfortable!
Maybe I should get both stickers: "I was brave" AND "Drama Queen". I can be both, right?

AIBU?
To want a "I was brave" sticker for myself after having a steroid injection on my foot joint?
