Injections into the shoulders are better than injections into the gluteal muscles, because the muscles are sore .
When I was a pincushion:I’m curious if anyone else uses their triceps? I use them if I am injecting some hCG or Tirz or a peptide for example. I just do it subq there. I wouldn’t want to do a testosterone IM or anything like that there however. I like the triceps because it’s a very easy spot to hit for a small injection and it gives me one more spot.
I am also surprised more people didn’t mention ventroglutes. That is much easier to hit than the glutes and they can hold a lot.
Shit you ain’t even gotta poke it. I thought I had a hernia for a min and being the self helper I started pushing trying to move it… nope it was a swollen node and I caused myself to pass out. Its amazing how the body will prevent you from hurting itself.. just knocks you outIf you use lats keep away from your armpit area ,, you go poking gear into a lymph node you will be one sorry sum'bitch
Subq can go just about anywhere. I’ll use just about where when I’m injecting slin. Typically I just use my tri and quads for subq (easily 10 stabs a day - insulin, not oil) but never the stomach. Quads and glutes for oils for me. I can’t find that vetro to save my soul, even had a nurse friend show me on her but finding it on me, just like fools goldI’m curious if anyone else uses their triceps?

I had the wife show me on my hip where ventro is and I traced her fingers with a markerSubq can go just about anywhere. I’ll use just about where when I’m injecting slin.

lol that’s what I was gonna do honestly, find it and put an X. Even tried the leg out to make it “pop”… shows right on up for her but even when doing the normal finding method, it’s hard a rock on meI had the wife show me on my hip where ventro is and I traced her fingers with a marker
me too.I learned that lesson the hard way.
I assume you've showered since then however?I had the wife show me on my hip where ventro is and I traced her fingers with a marker
Over 20 years nursing , having her show me again isnt an issue.I assume you've showered since then however?
