    injections

    I got a prescription for Test Cyp. The directions are telling me to withdrawl the test with a 1in 20g needle and then switch the needle head with a 1.5in 25g needle for the actual injection. I am injecting 125mg a week. This is my third injection and the problem I am having is it is incredibly difficult doing the injection with the 25g needle.
    Today I had to pull the needle out halfway into the injection as to get a better grip on it. There is no way it should be this difficult. Should i just use the 1in 20g needle from now on or will that rip my ass apart?

    I've used a 20g to inject before, but you probably won't like it too much.

    yah a 25g will take forever, better of with a 23g.

    the moron didn't give me 20g. I should call him and tell him to resend 23g. It is ridiculous how hard it is the get the plunger forced down. It's almost impossible with my left hand.

    23g would be better. Injecting the glute takes a little getting used to, try another site.

    I couldn't imagine putting a 20 anywhere but my glute. I had to use an 18 a couple of times and it definetely gets your attention.

    I've never injected anywhere but my glute. You think it would be easier to shoot my quads?

    how hot can you make it? i am guessing that really heating it up would start to degrade it? (not to mention burn!), just curious...

    So you think it will be easier to use the 25g in my quads? If i can't get the 23g then I don't have much choice. I fell like I am not injecting properly with the 25g because it takes so much effort. Like i am moving the needle around too much. I got a small bruise on my ass from today's injection.
