Aversion to pinning as time progresses

[2Sox]

Just curious, for those of you who have been on TRT for a long time. I'm about 4 years along now, and I'm really getting tired of pinning myself. You'd think over time that it would become easier, but it seems the opposite. I've even considered the pellets just so I don't have to jab my leg once or twice a week. I think part of it is that I inject IM, which is significantly more uncomfortable/painful than subQ. It may be that I'm just building up too much scar tissue, but how do I avoid that knowing that I'll be pinning the rest of my life? I've tried subQ, but my brand name Test C is just too thick for insulin syringes.

Any advice from long time pinners?

Is your Test Cyp Watson? If it is, it will load just fine into a 29g a insulin syringe. Just takes a few minutes to push out the air a few times, but it works.

I am with ya on this chit, HCG daily, allergy shots 2x a week and 2 times sub Q injections lol.

What I did was order some 30g 1/2 inch BD needles, I load up with a 23g and then switch to the 30g, @ .4 CC it takes about 2 min to inject but I like it better then the 25g IM in the quad. if your doing IM try Sub Q, for me with the 30g 1/2 inch I just stab it in inject and don't even need a band aid in the quad, I did it on a conference call today at my house, it's that easy.

Mine is Paddock Labs. I tried using an insulin needle to draw it once and it basically just foamed and would have taken forever, and I was afraid my shot would be too aerated and would have taken half a day to inject.
