Needle phobia, can they give you anything to calm you down?

Hiya, i have a very very bad needle phobia and i wanted to know if they can give you anything to calm me down before they try sticking that needle in the back of my hand for the breast op?

Iam hoping to have my breasts done in a couple of months but the needle is really scaring me.

The needle is the easiest part of the surgery trust me you don’t feel a thing, I just had my op today too

Magic cream i had gas and air wasnt allowed as i found owt at theatre … magic cream wil do it. .honest!im the same! x

Its not the feeling of the needle that scares me, to be honest iam not quite sure what it is. I cant even look at them without crying my eyes out and nearly fainting. I just have a very bad phobia. I sound like a right wimp lol x

i have too hun and honestly i couldnt feel a thing and i made sure i didnt look lol xx

the numbing cream completely numbed my hand i was pinching it & couldnt feel a thing, but i still couldnt have the injection i have a bad phobia even knowing i wouldnt feel it i still wouldnt let them near me lol so they gave me the gas mask, two breathes and i was out!! xx

how did it go cali??how u feelin hun xx

im worrying about this too, its not the pain im scared of and i can handle peircings and tattoo’s but its injections i hate !xx

I hope they will let me have the gas mask aswell ayshababy. Where did you have it done as iam going to the Doncaster one to have my op?

Iam exactly the same roxiexx i can have tattoos but come near me with a needle and i will run a mile lol x

I was like that when I went down to theatre and was very uneasy about it and crying and the surgeon gave me the option to be put to sleep using gas which I done! However, when you wake up the needle is kept in your hand for quite a while, mine wasn’t removed until the next morning although you hardly feel it and you are too disoriented when you wake up to care lol xx

does everyone have the option of being put to sleep by gas ?x

i was at highgate crystal x

im not sure roxiexx, i wasnt told i could have it til i was laying in the anesthetist room having a crying fit like a baby, the needle wasnt even near me!! lol. so he handed me the mask & next thing i remember is waking up back in my room, i had the cannula thing in my hand but couldnt even feel it.

there is a pre med tablet u can be given before too which is meant to help keep u calm. call ur pc and ask she should be able to tell you what the hospital ur going to can provide xx

When i asked my surgeon if i would be able to have anything to calm me down about the needle he said i will have to ask the anesthetist.

I really hope they will give me the gas lol. Not sure if iam going to be a day case or an over night stay. Iam going to the Doncaster hospital as that one isnt too far from me and my surgeon is Mr Kazzazi x
