GARDASIL AND BLOOD TESTS
Okay, so i need to get my physical at the doctor. And i think i need to get a blood test. Don't they hurt? And i think i need it on my wrist, right next to the veins, and that makes me feel REALLY lightheaded. And i need a GARDASIL shot also..and do you know if that hurts? I just got like 5 vaccines a couple weeks ago and they didn't hurt..but a blood test will it hurt? I HATE PAIN. Please be honest. Does a blood test hurt if it's near the wrist veins, and if it's not does it still hurt? And does the GARDASIL Vaccine hurt?? And also, what does a doctor do during a physical? Do blood tests hurt as much as a vaccine? Please answer ALL.

Honestly; blood test hurt worse in the wrist. When they are further down the arm , they dont hurt as much. But its doesnt hurt. A little pinch and your done. I have a had them many times before.

I get a bloodtest every single year as a part of my physical, and a shot every 3 years, or 6 years, or so. Trust me,. Out of all the shots and vaccines and things you get, bloodtests hurt the least.

at a routine physical, they do simple things such as blood pressure, pulse, eye tests, reflexes, height, weight, consult any problems you have or have had in the past, things like that.
they do not do blood tests as a part of the physical. i hope you don't think that, but i can't tell by your question. but i don't know anything about blood tests anyway, so i can't help you there.
a physical is nothing to be worried about (:

Blood tests aren't bad. You'll only get one if the doctor ordered lab work- and you need to fast the night before. They hurt, but only if you watch them do it. Just think about something else, and it's over in like two seconds. Plus, you could be preventing diseases that ARE really painful, and getting your cholesterol tested is a part of life you're gonna have to accept someday, so the sooner the better.
Gardasil I've heard is a slightly bigger needle, but it on;y hurts AFTER the shot. Like, it'll be sore. But it's one again a lot better than the disease it's preventing, and it only hurts for a little while. Invest in an icepack and you're set.
Pediatricians usually check "down there" but not like a gyno does, and if you're not comfortable you can ask them not to, or request that a female doctor look at you for that one part. I have a guy doctor, and I'm comfortable with him, but it depends on the person & how long you've had that doctor. I've had the same one since age two, so yeah.
I've never had to pee in a cup at a regular physical- but if you do, it's no big deal. Just don't pee on your hand or give them apple juice instead :)
Oh yea, and request that the person testing your blood use the smallest needle possible, especially if you have small veins. Bend your arm out straight- and if you can see veins in the inside of your elbow, you'll probably be fine with the reg. size needle.
