1" into Glute too risky?

[nydj66]

1" should be fine, though with and 1.5" pin you will get less chance of injection pain and swelling etc.

I agree 100%. I've done at least 100 glute injections using a 25g 1" pin. But on my current cycle of 200mg/ml Primo I got big painful welts on my ass after every injection until I switched to 1.5".

I used to use a 1 inch in glutes. 1.5 inch doesn't hurt anymore than a 1 inch does. 1.5 is the preferred method for glutes because it gets the drugs deeper into the muscle.

Thanks for all the responses, I decided to go with 1" and to be honest it's still hurting after doing it on Tuesday. Nothing majorly painful but I'd rather avoid injecting into fat if possible just because it takes time to dispurse when in fat (apparently). I can get 1.25" 23g so might try them, maybe the extra 0.25 will make a slight difference. At the end of the day £7 for 100 will not break the bank.

I use 25g 1" needles for everything. I've never had a problem, even in the glutes.
