Injecting hurts?

[timothyyy]

Hi, I've been on TRT for over 2 months now and I inject 100mg every week of Depo-Testosterone in my quads.
I rotate quads every week as well.
I was taught by a doctor/nurse how to inject and the first few weeks injecting by myself it was easy and painless.

BUT now as of recently, the past 3 weeks of injecting, I get scared because of the pain.
I would inject and as the needle goes through my skin and muscle there's a minor pain. It's not necessarily a sharp pain, but it's painful enough for me to be scared to inject the next time.

I do the SAME thing I've always done and how my doctor has done, and I don't know why this pain is happening.

Please help!

its in your head bro..............your nervous now, and i can see that needle moving around alot while your injecting.

relax, deep breath, let some out, and slowly inject into the muscle.

i use a slight spinning movement... helps the needle cut through the outside layer of skin. if you look at the shape of a needle point,
its kinda shaped like a drill bit. alittle spin all the way in is how i do it.............and then slowly inject

Thanks for the spinning advice!
Sometimes it takes quite a bit of force for the needle to go through my skin, which makes it more painful I guess.
I will definitely try that technique out and see if that helps.

are you at least pinning in a different spot each time you inject a quad?...

Yeah, always a different spot

Once you locate the spot , draw back the pin and use a quick dart like movement, fast thru the layers of skin, once u get thru the skin, no pain in the muscle at all.

^^this. It's more mental than anything else. And if you can dart it in it doesn't hurt AT ALL.

Perhaps try injecting elsewhere, like delts or glutes?
Agree with what others have said too about mental. Keep doing it, pretty soon you won't even think about it or feel it, although the actual pain never changes.

Glutes are easiest for me. And delts are super nice at lower volumes too. Try switching it up!
