Am I Deep Enough??

[tvd220]

Quick question: I noticed that when i do injections into my thigh, im really only going about 3/4 i nch deep with the needle. (I have 1 inch 23 g) NOW, Is that deep enough to get into my stystem or is stuck in limbo??? I dont want to be wasting my test prop injections!!! Thanx for any (non-diss) advise.

That will work but why not put it all the way in

Prop is fast acting anyway it shouldn't make a difference if you go that extra 1/4" if it hurts to go that deep.

So does it need to be dispursed into fat or muscle tissue?

Get a longer needle and put it in around 3/4 of the needle. Its not good to stick the needle all the way in, just in case the needle breaks.

You should be good to go, I was reading at spotinjections to leave some of the needle showing in case it breaks and you have to go in after it. That scared the sh*t out of me when I read it but in the past I have just buried that bad boy.

You want it into the muscle not sub q but it's not the same as a longer acting oil based.

yea i use 1.5 in the glutes and go almost all the way in. Then i use my 1 inch stabber for legs and arm injections. And i go about 3/4 in. I just want to make sure im not wasting this ****.

Definetly leave some out, if it breaks and you can't get it out on your own you're going to be in some huge pain as well as explaining to the nice people that come to take it out just exactly what you were doing. Not a good experience all around.

Ok So I Take It That I Am Fine With 3/4 Inch Into My Thigh, No Waste. Thankyou Everybody Who Contributed To This Post, Good Looking Out.

Muscle tissue, thats why its called intramuscular (IM) injection. Subcutaneous would be into fat.

I guess I will stop driving the needle all the way in. But how do you aspirate in the delts or tris one handed with out it in all the way

Agreed, stick it all the way in........
