    Is it normal that this hurts? Could it be because its the first time ive tried it? Will my body get used to it?
    What size of pin did you use? Was it fresh and sharp?

    I used a 25 gauge by 5/8" but I think I will try a slin needle next time. Im kind of pissed I mean Im pretty tough but I don't like injecting something that hurts this much for a vitamin c boost lol. The solution itself seemed to hurt.

    Vitamin injects hurt IME.
    Its water-based, so the solvent/preservative is being leeched out immediately, which is what causes the stinging.

    And if it is Vitamin C from Ascorbic acid, that is no surprise, since that stuff is very acidic and will certainly burn.
