    Shoulder shot Hurt? 22 ga

    Hey, I know everyone recommends 23-25 ga on shoulder shots but has anyone used 22ga before and if so does it hurt compared to a glute.
    I've been sick lately my head freakin kills me.

    I used a 22g and it was no more painful than a 23g, but I did have a little leakage that needed pressure so I would not waste the goodies.

    Get a 25G, you can order em cheap and have em in a few days...why not? They're great for site injects

    You will cut down on building up scar tissue also.

    Do any of you guys buy your syringes and needles local like at a pharmacy, If so what brands do you buy? Also what excuses do you say when they ask you. My bro went and got his local and they ask him each time what he's going to use them for. Also do you buy 1 inchers or 5/8 inchers

    I think anything from 23 and up takes to long to go in.

    Use a 25 gauge for site injections. If it is legal in your state to buy syringes at a pharmacy then don't tell them a damn thing. It is none of their business although I usually like to mention I am having a heroine party. If you are really worried tell them it is for B12 injections. Still it is easier just to buy them online.
