Imy,
It’s Emla cream. Spell check changed it.

Apply lidocaine cream 1/2 hour before the injection. Also, tell the nurse to stop every few seconds to give the med time to be absorbed into the fat tissue under the skin. These actions really helped me a lot. I hope these suggestions work for you. Feel better ❤️‍🩹!!! 🥰

I would try Elma cream, or Lidocaine numbing relief. There are a lot of numbing creams on the market because of tattoos.

My nurse put ice in a glove and left it on the injection site while the pharmacist got the shot ready. It really did help🥰
