Maybe you should try your delts. I find that delt shots don't hurt at all.
I did a tricep shot yesterday and it didn't hurt one bit but my tricep is swollen. It looks huge compared to the left. I'm going to even that out tomorrow
EOD shots aren't that bad when you think of ED shots. Yeesh, I couldn't imagine that.
One friend of mine was doing 11 shots a week, with 23 gauge needles too.
