Same pin - Different injection spots

[< <Samson> >]

Been doing this for a while, until for some reason now it sounds unsanitary. I like hitting both side(i.e. tri or delts) at the same time to break up a the larger volume. But, I always use the same pin between both spots.

Does it matter?

as long as your changing needles between injections and the injections are taking place at the same time, it shouldn't be a problem.

Ummm, pin refers to needle

Let's put it this way Samson..it's not the BEST practice but it could be worse. It's a bit like Russian Roulette, 99 out of 100 you will be fine BUT...I would do anything to avoid the 1 out of 100

I just refer to the whole syringe/needle as a pin so I wasn't sure. Anyways, needles are cheap as hell... just buy some more.

The only time I do this is when I aspirate blood. So I pullout and inject elsewhere. Same thing basically.

So, swap needles on the syringe between shots? Seems as bad as using the same one since I am swapping the needle on a syringe already filled with liquid.

Might just do 2 full syringes and needles. But, just seems wasteful.

Yeah, I figure just change needles. They're so cheap anyway compared to everything else we do. Besides, I can really tell a difference when I have to pin more than once due to blood, etc. It dulls the needle and hurts more.
TOTALLY hear you on spreading out the volume. I think volume has much more to do with PIP soreness than anything else.

Even then I switch the pin out. Why risk it. That's my thought.

Good info. . . .All I figured, but good to hear from other people doing the same shit.

I think I might just do ED shots. Why not, just an extra 30 syringes. Wish I had some TNE for this shit. . . Didn't think of doing ED shots till now.
