To sign *shot* (as in a medical injection), form an 'L' shape with your dominant hand by extending your index finger and thumb. Bring the tip of your index finger to your non-dominant upper arm. Then, push your thumb down to meet your index finger, mimicking the action of pressing the plunger on a syringe.
Sign 'I', 'need', and spell 'F-L-U', then use the sign for 'shot' on your upper arm.
Sign 'shot', then 'hurt', while raising your eyebrows and leaning slightly forward to indicate a yes/no question.
Sign 'doctor', then use the sign for 'shot' on your arm. You can add a slight directional movement to show the doctor administering it to you.
