[QUOTE="WNC Gal, post: 56581, member: 3783"] Our pediatrician's office also uses a little device called a "shot blocker" it looks like a circular plastic board with lots of little pricklies on it - basically they gently press it down on the area with the blocker and inject in the center - the nerves are "tricked" by the sensations of the larger gently prickling disc and they don't seem to notice the shot itself as much. But, my littlest child always has a hard time with shots and basically ends up screaming her head off while about three of us hold her down and get it over with - so sad - and that is with EMLA cream too! I may ask about a sedative next time too! And perhaps getting some Motrin on board prior to the shot to help with the pain afterwards. Would icing the area be effective? [/QUOTE]
