How Bad Do IVs hurt?
I have to go into the hospital and they are going to put an IV in my arm. How bad does this hurt?
Has anyone had an IV before?

I became dehydrated once and they put an IV in me. It will just feel like a shot. The nurse or doctor will probably just talk to you and you won't even notice it being put it. Think about something else while they're doing it. Either way, it won't hurt that bad. It will feel like a sweat bee stung you for less then a second, and then it's over. Nothing to really be freaked out about.

Yes it's going to hurt iv'e had a IV put in seeing as i had surgery done in the past it's uncomfortable for a few seconds close your eyes and don't look if you aren't comfortable with needles everyone handles pain differently you may feel it hurts and others may not it will be over before you know it try and stay calm while they put it in you can always hold someone's hand if you get scared :)
Good luck!

I am not going to say it feels good, but it's not as bad as you think. Just don't watch, and as long as a doctor or nurse knows what they are doing, it will be over before you know it.

It only hurts when the first put in the needle, but they put it in at an angle. It goes into your vein, then they tape it or something so it won't move, and you'll soon forget about it. Of course there will be some instructions for you, depending on where the IV is located. Like don't bend your arm, if it is in the crook of your elbow, or they could put it in your write, then you would have to keep your hand immobile.
You,ll be OK. I'd be more concerned about what they they putting into you through the IV.
