    Needle size for shoulder injection

    What kind of needle length and gauge do i need for a shoulder injection ?
    I use a 1 1/4 22G for my ass
    Though i am still kind of scared injecting into shoulders i plan to do it, i guess i'll get used to it as it was with glutes. I also wondered whether i can inject both short and long esters into them? Thanks

    agreed glutes are better but if you shoot EDyou need at least seven spots for proper rotation. I have 8 ihit my glutes, quads, shoulders, and lats. I tried pecs and calves but they don't seem to work as well. maybe traps some day. 10 injection sites would be killer.

    Yes you canuse both long and short in the shoulders. Start out with no more then 1.5ml - after a few injections 2ml should be a milk run.

    calves were the all time worst for me, only did one once! I broke the virgin muscle with winny - I'm sure that didn;'t help any.

    you guys should be using 1.5, im surprised at the amount of you using 1 inch.
    if you push all 1 inch in what will you do if the needle breaks ? i like my .5 inch buffer zone just in case..

    Because thats what they sell at the pharmacies here and also because most of the pharmacists are idiots, i almost received a headache once telling to one of them that i need 20 needles with 22 gauge, so she started giving me 20 gauge and shit,i repetead it at least 10 times and at the end that dumb woman said "you need 20 needles with 22 size, is that what you are trying to say?" No bitch im not trying, i said it about 10 times. And today when i requested 5 needles with 25 gauge another one gave me needles with 22 gauge.. . And even with the 1'' you dont have to push all the way in either, i just leave about a mm or two in case it breaks out so that i can get it out.
