    massive pain injecting

    injected some b12 into my thigh using a 23 and could not do it the pain was unbearable pushing it in. switched to a 27 and still hurt alot but able to inject. cant work out why because i injected into my other thigh on friday and worked legs on thursday. does anyone one have any reasons why i would get so much pain out of the blue?

    Cheers,

    have you tried squirting just a couple of drops so it runs down the pin, then when you push it in those tiny drops act as lubricant?. it works. just point the pin straight up squeeze a couple of drops and turn the syringe as they dribble down the pin, coats it in oil to aid penetration. sounds oddly sexual, but hey, if you do it right pinning can be fun too. oh, yeah just to add to that, your pain receptors on your skin are actually a couple of mm apart, just lightly touch the needle to your skin where you're gonna jab, if you get a stinging pain you're right on a receptor. move a mm or so and repeat. you should get a dull sensation or nothing at all, that's the spot. something to try anyway.

    Are you new to pinning, or have you pinned before and the pain is new?

    that was my 9th time i red up on injection on the site and how to do it and am following that. ive done my delts and one in my glute with no pain i just like using the thigh because its easier. so i cant work out why it was so painful all of a sudden. should i stand when i inject my thigh? or at least have my leg out straight.

    have you thought of doing it subq with an insulin needle. really b-12 can be im or subq.

    yeah i always let a few drops run down the pin. maybe was right on a pain receptor but it still hurt a fair bit the second shot in a different spot even with a 27!

    Maybe you are tensing the muscle. I love quad shots, just make sure you are completely relaxed.

    subq is easier than im. i recommend about 2 inches from the navel and depending on how much adipose tissue you have in the abdominal area you can either go at a 45 degree angle ( if you are a lower bf) or at a 90 degree angle (if you are higher) the insulin pin is very small i think 29 gauge and usually a half inch long. no aspirating either with subq. but if you are practicing for im shots then keep up what u are doing.

    that sounds fair because i usually do my shot at night a few hours before bed and this one i did earler before dinner. my next one is due tommorro so ill try my other before bed and see how it goes.

    Is it a good idea when injecting to try and stay away from muscles recently worked? (because i have a crap load of prop i want to use one day)

    rub some ice on the area before you inject. if yiou cant handle that then quit doing it. Emotionally you cant handle it.
