Slow Stab, or Quick Stick ?

[houseofpain]

When you inject do you pierce the skin and then push the needle into the muscle slowly? Or do you just pop it in quickly to the full depth?

Is one method any better than the other, and why?

 

[Wrongun]

Both are good. I prefer to enter slowley and no pain when jabbing myself. If doing for someone else i use th e''dart'' method.

As long as you get in the muscle and aspirate both are good

Wrongun!

I go pretty slow. Although I've noticed that when I get a shot from the doc they jab the fucker in there fast and don't even aspirate. I'm more comfortable taking my time. I can't give any explantion why one is better than the other, but IMO you are better off going slow and steady.

I do it pretty slow. Its less likely to cause me to flinch or jump. I am glad I asperate, it seems like lately I'm sticking alot of blood vessels. I've drawn blood into my syringe at least 4 times recently that I can think of. Yikes!

 

[tiger88]

yea i just like to jab it in.....i tried to put it in slow...but freaked me out.....i just act like i am throwing a dart into my quads or delts

 

[anabolic24/7]

Slow start, and then I look away. For some reason if I don't see it going in, I don't feel it.

Qucik initially to break the skin, then s-l-o-w-l-y to feel for resistance, then you can be pretty sure without aspirating you're in THE WRONG PLACE!!!

But aspirate anyway....

As somebody that gives injections everyday in the medical realm, I give injections quickly. If giving an IM (intramuscular), you should have the right needle guage and depth. Let the needle do the work for you. No need to suffer and go slow unless you are into pain. Now...by that, I mean go quickly in. Once in, make sure you deliver your full dosage and then pull it out. Going in slow can be painfully agonizing AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY LEAVE A LESION (WHELP) in the area. Just do it all in one motion. I have seen lesions on people (these are red ecchymoses...bruising) when they go to slow. Just my two cents for what it is worth.

Slow & steady baby....its my ass on the line!!.....

 

[tempest2003]

slow and controled the entire way in and back out out

 

[quez82]

i go really slow... if i feel a little pain i just move the needle to the side... which it doest bother me at all i just sit there move it side to side lol seeing where it hurts less and go in slow .. its no biggy for me.. if you poke fast and hurts like a bitch its like well now you gotta switch spots or go through the pain

 

[THEEGAME2544]

A slow steady constant pace.

 

[DeepZenPill]

I jab it in pretty fast.

 

[tapoutm]

I think somebody should try doing it like the guy on the Program. That should feel good. I go slow no pain.....TAPOUTM

I've tried both methods, but I find going slowly to be more painful on occasion. Now use the dart method and find it more effective overall.

Quick jab in.. It's only one inch bro, not much length to begin with.

 

[drrman]

i push it in slowly and roll the syringe back and forth in my fingers, makes it slide in easier

 

[bunkka]

I go slowly. It seems that some spots tend to have less nerve endings than others. If I'm hitting a spot that is going to be particularly painful, I move the needle around just a bit.

Once i'm at a spot, it's VERY slow and deliberate as it pushes through the skin. Once you're in, you muscles don't feel any pain and it's smooth sailing. That first 1-2mm is a bitch though sometimes.

My wife the nurse goes it quick I think.....when I get my glutes or shoulders done. When I do thighs its a slow control stick, and damn it hurts breaking the skin....then it just glides in....ahhhh....

That is what my girl says about anal!

 

[haxedout]

slow and gentle for me...less soreness the day after

come on guys that shit is too funny!!!!

 

[02gixxersix]

I jab it in pretty fast to break the skin, but then I push it in semi slowly after that. I have like a phobia of hitting a nerve so i never want to just stick it in real fast. Howver when I shoot my friends up I might as well stand across the room and throw it at them cause I jab that fucker in there.

 

[JKerry]

i just lay the needle on the skin and hold it until it goes in by itself. can't even feel a thing. sometime i can feel the friction of the needle sliding through muscle tissue... kinda eery. but no pain.

I use quick stab with 22g 1.5" and aspirate before injecting. I have used 25g 1" for spot injects...prefer 22g 1.5" usually in ars.

 

[jh1]

i push it in slowly and roll the syringe back and forth in my fingers, makes it slide in easier

Damn...

I wouldn't do that if I were you.. you'll create more scar tissue... just push it in... don't roll it around.

Ouch.

I go slow on quad injects. They seem to be more painful that other areas(breaking the skin). For glutes and delts it's pretty fast.
