    Is the hip a good place to inject?

    Seems like just as good as any other, but i have to RNs in the family, one says the ass the other says hips just as good.. I've only had 1 shot and it was in m hips and it did not hurt at all, so i'm planning on keeping it there

    gluteus medius or ventrogluteal is a great place to inject.plenty of landmarks and easy to reach.

    It's the only place, glute-wise, that i shoot.

    Glute max is painful

    I use ventro-glute and delts exclusively.

    yes the glute is alot more painful, and the fact that you have to sit on it constantly doesnt help. i prefer pecs to delts, but my fav is quads.
