stinging while pinning

[Jonbana]

More cutaneous nerve fibers in your quads and tiny capillaries. Just a more sensitive area in general.

Least painful and most safest places to pin are glutes and deltoids but you end up running out of injection sites eventually.

interesting , so your saying the burning / stinging is just because of the area ? never knew that didn't have a problem before I pin them once a week so one side every other week

thanks I thought maybe it was the new prep pads being different or something got them from my local needle exchange

Could be the prep pads but I'm not a mind reader or a psychic so I am only going by what I know

I am a nurse, so I give injections regularly and the quads are one of the areas we need to be more careful due to the abundance of blood vessels and nerves. The whole "fast in" technique that people are taught for self quad injections is actually dangerous because you can sever a nerve. I know because it happened to me and part of my leg is permanently numb now on the skin surface.

Even though it's more painful, slow and steady is better for the quads! Deltoids who cares.... just nail it.

Yes I also go slow and steady I don't dart it like most do , once in a while I think I do pass a nerv as my leg will start flexing and twitching ? but I just keep going and it stops
