bad set of needles?

**southernboy31** · 11-09-2014, 08:32 PM

Ok I've been on trt for roughly 2 years so I'm def no stranger to injecting but every time I use these particular needles in my butt they are bending. I thought maybe I just had excessive scar tissue so I've been popping my legs for the last few months but Monday this is what happened to me

Damn. How long is that harpoon and whats the gauge?

lol mother of god!

wouldnt not even let that in my house lol, i inject with a 27gauge into my legs. Bit harder to push in but generally no worries. If on cycle i do a 25gauge.

That's why I love SQ.

Looks like you're holding them very wrong while injecting.

Ha sorry for the confusion. I meant to say I been pinning my legs but Monday I went back to my butt and that's what happened. That's a 22 gauge 11/2. I use that for my butt and I use a 25g 1 inch every where else. I doubt I'm holding it wrong as I have been injecting for several years now with no problem until this new batch of needles came in.

Holly crap.... I wouldn't use those any longer for sure. I read a post a long time ago about breaking a needle off that was inside of you. Scared the crap out of me. I was always thinking about it when injecting until I decided to see what would take a needle to actually break. They are quite flexible though and shouldn't snap off.

Thanks Pete that was/is my biggest fear. When I get home in a couple days I'll see if the shipping label is on the box and post up some pics. I can't remember if these came from Atlantic medical supply or east coast medical supply.

I would question exactly how OP is inserting the needle. Going slow & deliberate has always worked well for me. Only other question would be the type/manufacturer of needle you're purchasing? I always stick with Becton Dickinson (BD) made product. Pay sh*t, get sh*t IMO...
