This is a painful shot, in my experience, for three reasons. First, the medication is thick. Second, the dosage is often high and based on weight - so adults are getting larger doses. Third, the shot is given in the buttocks, and many people feel tense, anxious or embarrassed while receiving the injection - this can increase the pain level.
