I have to get a TB test?!
Question: I have to get a TB test!?
I have to get a TB test done tomorrow for a job (health field)!. I've never had one done and I was wondering if it hurts!. I kinda have a small fear of needle (well just blood being drawn)!. I can take shots like tetanus & hepatitis B!. Does it hurt less that one of those!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Done correctly, a TB is completely painless!. It really is not a shot and the needle just goes under the top few cells on the skin & is super tiny!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I had this test done in college (student teaching) and it was no big deal!. You may initially feel a slight stinging sensation as the needle is inserted, but that's about it!. No blood is drawn, but the injection site might feel slightly itchy for a short time!. Compared to having a tetanus shot, this one is a piece of cake!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well they don't take blood so that shouldn't worry you!.
and yeah it hurts and you get a bruise but i'd say that a tetanus shot is way more painful!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It hurts much less as the the needle does not go in as far or as deep with a TB Test!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Definitely!. Doesn't hurt at all really!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
