First Sub Q Injection

[Beethoven]

Did my first sub Q injection yesterday. Had some "cramp" sensations afterward. I injected on the right side about 2" from the navel. Did I hit the right place or has anyone else experienced this? Maybe just get some feedback from those of you who sub Q.

cramping from a Sub Q injection... never heard of that.
I do Vitamin B shots sub q also just started my trt sub q..

do you have any other symptoms other than cramping?

I've just started TRT and have done four SubQ injections.
I haven't felt any "cramping" on any of them.
The injections themselves have been pretty painless. However I CAN tell when my hand hasn't been as steady as it could have been.
When I'm not steady, I can feel tenderness and a little puffiness at the site of injection & immediately surrounding area, which may last a couple days.
When the injection is clean / smooth, the tenderness is much less.

I only do SQ and have had pain once in a while, but only with Test. Never with hCG . I think this happens when I inject to close to the pinch. When I inject well away from the pinch it never happens. Also remember to hold the needle at about a 45 degree angle. It helps.

A little tenderness yes could be a good description. Sox 45 degree with the pinch? I do have to say it is much more convenient than IM. I've never had problems with HCG either. I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Just looked at the video again and I see what you were saying about the 45 degrees. Thanks all.
