Needles and PAIN!

[NFG123]

Guys,

How much less painful is a 25 G than a 22 or 23 G for injecting in the glutes?

18 is ridiculous, i dont want to stick a cannon in my ass.

18 is ridiculous dont even think about it......i dunno about a 25 in the glutes b/c where i'm at the pharmacys only have that size in 5/8" which shouldnt be used for the ass.....23 was good though...like butter.......

if you're doing it correctly, there shouldn't be too big a difference. most ppl who use smaller sizes are due to the injection frequency in a effort to cut down on scare tissue.

i've gone from 22 to 23 to 25 and have noiced very little difference.

My first (and so far only) cycle I used 20g in the glutes. It was nothing. 18g would be a bit intimidating though. I have thought about using 18g for do it yourself liposuction though.

Haha,

Great posts.

Guys, I assume the glutes is far less painful than any other spot ... do the reduced nerves in this area ... right?

I think the glutes hurts about the same as the thigh, but the thigh is ten times easier to inject into. Its hard to reach around and twist to aspirate and plung it. Try the glutes. Delts are also nice and hardly hurt. About the gauge I would just use 23g, doesn't hurt and everything flows through it pretty easy except deca in my experience.

glutes and delts are painless for me! I hate quad shots! I use 23 gauges and they slide in like a hot knife going through butter.

i have only done two injections so far. both using 25g 1". one was in the glute and today was in the quad. i didn't feel it at all in the glute. i felt it some in the quad. the only thing is that it takes a while to push eq and enth through a 25g, but it makes sure you don't inj to fast.

i second the glute is a hard inj. i find it almost impossible to reach around and aspirate. one thing is that your head is so far from the needle and it's hard to even see if you are getting the little bubbles you are supposed to when aspirating. the quad today was easy 'cause you can see it all. if 2 of my 3 inj a week weren't 3cc i would probably never hit the glutes and try other body parts.
