"shotblocker" supposed to stop the pain, although her face says otherwise.

You can ice the area. Use something that vibrates to distract from feeling it
Or you can buy a shot blocker
or
Buzzy
There are topical numbing solutions too.
And auto injectors are a thing.
I'm considering trying the Bionix Shotblocker, on both my baby and my husband (who HATES shots/needles). Baby was very unhappy with his 2 month shots and I feel like my husband's lifelong issue with needles was because of how his mom handled needles/him getting vaccinations.

I recommend this if your needle phobia stems from the pain.
Hey OP,
So I'm a trans male who's been on HRT for almost a year and I was the same as you. The first two ish months it took me 3 hours to do my shot and I was given sedatives by my psychiatrist to try and help with my anxiety. I slowly got better at it and I think it's cause I'm the one who's in control of the needle and when it goes in.
Something I used to help was taking a hot shower or just sitting in the steamy bathroom to get the skin warmed up so it would go in easier. There's also this cool things my doctor told me about that put a sensation all around the area that you need to have injected to make you not focus on that one area, but you'd need someone else there to hold onto it for you.
I used to almost faint and had to lie down after my injections and now I can take a few minutes to do it and get it out of the way.
The doctors also show you how to inject it and make sure you know how to pinch your leg or wherever you inject to get it right and that helps a little too. Another thing that helps me is putting a pillow under my leg to push the fat up and having a you tube video playing that makes me laugh so that I'm not completely freaking out.
It's still a little hard for me but it gets so much easier I promise!! If you want any more help I'd love to help :)
Here's the pad thingy my doctor recommended: https://www.amazon.com/Bionix-Health-Shotblocker-Insulin-Injection/dp/B00B2GI3TG
Totally! It's crazy that I know otherwise healthy people who still feed their kids apple juice like 3 times a day. It's just different than it was before.
Also - if you haven't tried this thing for shots you should! It's amazing. When my daughter got her flu shot this year she complained that we didn't stay long enough at the doctors office and told me she was had so much fun while we were there (!!)
