I will be having painful hardware injections in the next week. My indications are pain in the immediate area where the hardware (screws) are. I had spinal fusion at L5/S1 in 1999 and then 2 revision fusions in June 2008. As it was explained to me, with local anesthetic, they will inject some kind of anesthetic directly on the screw heads. If there is relief, odds are the hardware is causing the pain and must come out. They only do local as they want you to tell them how you feel immediately after the injections. They say it is not painful

What is the Most painful injection?

The most painful injection is often considered to be the intramuscular injection of certain medications, particularly those that are viscous or irritating, like some antibiotics or chemotherapy drugs. The pain can be attributed to the needle's size, the injection technique, and the drug's properties. Additionally, the injection site, such as the deltoid muscle or gluteus maximus, can influence the level of discomfort experienced. Individual pain tolerance also plays a significant role in the perception of pain from injections.
