Any recommendations on numbing agents for injections

[padrino]

Does anyone have any recommendations on numbing agents for injections?  In the past, even though the injections stung a little, it wasn't too bad.  I started taking Taltz last night and the injections (two to start) hurt much worse than others.  Thankfully its only going to be one injection every other week for a while, then once a month later (assuming it works).



Thank you.

You could try Ice.

I have removed the links you posted and sent a PM to explain that we have a No Link policy at Psoriasis Club.

Did you use a 30 gage? I had a dog with diabetes and gave him insulin injections. It was far more comfortable for him when I used the finer needle. Injecting into fat (if you have any), using a bit of ice over the skin or warming the syringe to body temperature might also help. Wanting emla cream seems a tad wussy.
