Finger-prick blood tests - do they really hurt?

Don't let a little lancet stop you from understanding what is going on inside your body.

[@cassieanthony6383]

I have such a phobia of finger pricks and idk why 😂 Id full on rather get my blood drawn than a finger prick!

[@spencer_fife_and_drum_john9152]

Same haa

[@xRoyale.Violette]

lol same!

[@The_SwagEquestrian.]

I went to hospital and I kept having to get my blood sugars checked and I was like “why can’t they just do my bloods with theseee” because I am suck a needle phobic person I just sob every time I get a blood test (which is like once a week because I’ve got hepatitis)

[@astraobsidian4828]

I found it to be more of slight achy pain but not bad. And I found one prick with the needle was enough to fill both little tubes. I think if you follow the advice - make sure you are well hydrated, that your hand is warm and you use a ‘milking’ action (running the fingers and thumb of your other hand firmly down your hand and little finger) you should be fine. The results are back very quickly and are very detailed. They also give advice on how to correct any sub-optimal results you may have. I am very impressed! This is really something the NHS should do more of, with the patients comply with the advice. A lot of money would be saved with fewer heart attacks, strokes, liver disease etc. I have ordered regular re-checks with this company. It sounded expensive but I feel it’s good value if I can live a longer, healthier life through being aware of what’s going on inside me.

I have diabetes and I used to do these about 10 times a day. They hurt a tiny bit at first but then you get really used to it and it feels like a touch on the finger. Now I use a dexcom but I still do the fingertip check when I need too.

[@CarsAndCam]

Me too!!

[@Cooperbennettgolf24]

It’s hurts more than a shot

[@YoualwaysneedFaith]

Exactly what I say.

[@PhamProductions]

Why did they include a guy screaming?

[@Federal-Burea-Investigation]

Last time I got it, I thought nothing of it, until she pricked it, I realized, this aint no game, this hurt really bad.

[@RappersDelight808]

it does hurt a bit and one is never enough with the amount they need so you end up with a finger with 3 slits in it. if your sensitive to pain then yes it does hurt, especially doing it 3 times and trying to squeeze out all that blood. I lost most over my other fingers that went in the tube.

[@ShawnVielee]

Video title might as well have said fire ant biting and stinging fingertip does it hurt? 🙄 😂

My experience there was no pain at all.Jusy like being lightly flick.

[@itsyogirl8ri]

To me they feel like a tiny pinch

[@thefuturefrontierpilot75]

it doesn't hurt, it stings. but it lingers for like a few weeks. i'll always prefer a blood test

[@DaxAxeOffical]

the devices they use at my local hospital dont hurt really, i have a blood condition that requires constant blood tests

[@mistuco2089]

Ive never passed out from getting my blood drawn, yesterday I asked to get it drawn expecting them to go to my arm. No! They walk in with finger pricks and poked me twice since my circulation sucks!! I almost fainted, never have freaked out like that before haha.

[@itsyogirl8ri]

Idk why but for me they just feel like a pinch and the tiny hurt goes away fast

[@tomedmond]

Oh my god I thought it was gonna hurt. It did but not as much as I expected. Bit disappointed - wanted more pain tbf

[@iona5439]

They hurt more than the doctor putting a cannula in.

[@MVSDRobloxSpy]

It stings just a little bit

[@hazelene_]

I just think drawing blood from arm is much more painful than the finger prick.

[@leo_millie_milo7869]

I’ve had it before it really is fine to me everyone has different pain levels

[@craigsmith6879]

I’ve pricked myself so many times u get use to it but I don’t mind the pain I suffered with diabetes for ages so when I see blood on my finger I don’t care

[@madsinaportal7781]

For me it depends on the placement and what lancing device I use

[@Durr_burg]

I have diabetes and I have for like 5 years depends on how high you put the finger pricker is on or just what one you use you would get use to it.

[@AresGoldie]

Painful

[@daryldixonswifey]

they don't hurt I'm used to it I do it everyday and the day before I had diabetes then my mum said some people do it everyday and now here I am doing it everyday

[@cookies3e]

[@limesaltlemonpepper3583]

No they don’t when I was 6 I got 2 of my fingers pricked

[@MissPeyton8]

Because you only got them pricked a few times as a diabetic I have to prick my fingers multiple times per day every day and it does hurt

I'm 15 right now but I think at 13 I had to go on a ambulance and they pricked my finger, it honestly is not bad I was only shocked at first cuz um well it's quite fast and I don't think they told me what it was...

[@RoBDeeZL42]

Send the girl in the thumbnail

[@rem6552]

It hurt but it’ll go away soon. But if the person prick u very hard then the hurt will last like a week. From experience here 😂

Not that bad

Can you use lancets on your neck or face?
