    Injecting in the thigh

    since im not so good at injecting in the glutes im thinking abt injecting in my thigh... i have a 23G 1 1.5" needle

    I use 1" pins to inject in my thigh and I've had no problems. That should be fine. Just make sure you go deep enough.

    I use 23g 1.5 inch pins on my quads and my glutes for my quads i just leave just a lil bit of the pin showing and inject. Never had a problem before.

    Every time I try to only go in a certain distance, the pin almost always goes all the way in when I begin injecting. You normally won't even feel the difference.

    Yep, i use 23g 1.25 blues. Just use you're 23g 1.5, its not difficult to go in an inch. Thighs are dead easy to shoot too, just divide you're vastus laterals (outer quad) into three from the hip joint to you're knee and shoot the centre section.

    Anyone have any thoughts on the use of a 18g 1" needle? For injections into the quad and glute
