Shot Question

[Bgrenko]

My wife and I have been using 22 gauge 1" needles this cycle. Recently we noticed that we're getting some fluid leak when we pull the needle out. Our instincts tell us that we are not getting deep enough into the muscle and should go with 1 1/2". Anyone else have this problem or advice for us ?

Thanks

where are you injecting with a 1" needle? also this is not an uncommon problem i would juts pull out slower and keep pressure on it after you have taken the shot.

I'm shooting upper outer quarter of the Glut

1.5" for glutes and 1" for other sites.
Like JuicedUp420 said put pressure on inj hole right after you pull the needle. I usually get some leakage but not much. You have to be quick from the time you pull the needle to putting your thumb on the hole and applying pressure.
I also like to pull the needle out slow so it gives the tissue time to collapse over the hole on the way out. If I pull the needle out to quick I get a lot of leakage. HTH

I use 25g 1.5" for glutes and quads.....tried 1" in quads and got leakage....1.5" is the way to go

Thanks for the feedback, that helped. In the past I gave myself the shots in the glut (Hell of a trick !) Probably leaked and just didn't know !

Try shooting somewhere else, arm leg. I like it better anyways. It hurts too bad in the butt cheek. I know I a puss

With glutes i use 1.5's and bury it full depth never really suffer leakage, never really go over 2 mls per shot though.

I have done 3ml before with no problem
