Just remember this, about 2 inches below the belt line, at LEAST 3 inches 4 fingers and a thumb away from your butt crack... you should be far enough out where you can take your far hand and just barely be able to reach it from around the front, using 2 fingers to somewhat hold and steady the needle while your closer hand does the aspirating and injecting. Try limiting yourself to no more then 2 CC's to start until you get comfortable meaning no next day pain before moving up to 3 CC's in an injection. Same with quad (thigh) and butt injections... more towards the side is better then towards middle of your body. I like gluteus medius instead of maximus for injection, less pain... medius is higher closer to belt line, maximus is closer to your butt hole.Originally Posted by tatroid
