Ceftriaxone "I picked up gonorrhea... received one shot of ceftriaxone in combination with oral azithromycin. The needle was huge, but I didn’t feel anything. Started clearing up the infection almost immediately. 12+ hours later and still no pain... there must have been a lot of lidocaine mixed in."

"My boyfriend gave me gonorrhea. I went to get treatment and received an injection of Rocephin in my arm. I'm usually good with needles, but this was one of the most painful injections I've ever received in my life. Especially the second after they removed the needle. I felt like my soul came out of my body in agonizing pain! I started to have tremors, and the doctor kept asking me if I was okay, but I couldn't take the pain anymore. I didn't scream or anything, I held it down. I guess that's why it hurts so much more! I think if you get it in the butt, it will hurt less. But this stuff hurts, and I am not joking! Hoping it works. Stay safe, guys."

Ceftriaxone "Found out I had gonorrhea. Doctor prescribed this and antibiotic pills (doxy). The shot is not as painful as everyone says, especially if you take precautions: 1. Insist that they mix the shot with lidocaine, 2. Ice it when you get home, ice it before bed. I got it in the left arm, and I was rock climbing the next day. Symptoms decreased significantly 6 hours after the shot."
