Injection site rotation

[GP0714]

Why's rotating your injection sites so important?

Because the build up of scar tissue can occur.

Yup that can cause for some painful injections

I don't think I've ever had pain goin through scar tissue I just feel the needle pop through a denser area in the muscle. Maybe I'm just lucky. Ive always been good alternating butt checks.

Oxy- you just alternate left and right glutes ew?

Isn't there more a chance for abscess if you don't rotate spots frequently enough? Thought I read this somewhere. COuld be wrong though

I always rotate between my thighs, shoulders, and glutes. The other day when I injected my shoulder it seemed like everything leaked out, so I didn't know if it was time to give the shoulders a break, or it was just a bad stick.

Well it depends on what I'm taking but yeah... ew, e3d or eod. I've done delts, quads and glutes but my very strong preference is stickin with glutes (no pun). I seem to always find a open spot and hardly hit soreness or scar tissue even with eod injects. That is still worst case of 2 pins per cheek/wk and maybe I've just got a big ass. Over the last eight yrs I've had min problem rotating this way except when I was an idiot and ran pgcl for a wk. Fuckin pin cushion.

My injection site absolutely kills me for about 3 days after my injection, so not rotating is not an option!
