Injection in sole of foot
Discussion
I have a lump on the sole of my foot which a podiatrist and ultrasound have been unable to diagnose fully.
I am therefore having to have an exploratory procedure on it, this no doubt will involve an injection to numb it.
Has anyone had such an injection, I’m fine with injections normally however the idea of one in the sole of my foot has me a little worried
Am I just being a total wuss?

Having stepped on numerous bits of lego in the dark when my kids we little I can only conclude that an injection in the sole of your foot is going to hurt like a motherfI am therefore having to have an exploratory procedure on it, this no doubt will involve an injection to numb it.

ker. Take a stick to bear down on. - good luck
I succeeded in putting a deep cut in my sole where the little toe joins it. It was decided I needed stitches.
The nurse said she’d put a local in but it might sting a bit. Sting is not the word for it the air turned blue.
She then said she would stitch & I was to say if I felt any pain & she’d give me some more local. I could feel the stitches going in & that stung, but there was no way I was having another jab.

Top tip - put your hand in your pocket and pinch your thigh, as they do the jab. Chances are you won't feel the jab. It also makes you look nonchalant. I am therefore having to have an exploratory procedure on it, this no doubt will involve an injection to numb it.

ask for a tibial nerve block - this way the injection is placed just behind the inside ankle bone, one injection should take out sensation in the whole of the sole of the foot. Theres a bit of a scratch but really shouldnt be too bad.
An infiltration of local into the dense tissue in the sole of the foot on the other hand is pretty unpleasant

Yep me too trod on a buried broken bottle on a beach. The nurse said she’d put a local in but it might sting a bit. Sting is not the word for it the air turned blue.
