Try this next time you inject. Goes in like butter!

i'm confused...are you saying that you rotate the needle(spike) while it's in your muscle? If so.....that will cause more tissue damage than you want. I'm an RN and we were instructed to avoid doing that at all. your call though.

not like a drill, just rotating the needle a little bit so it cuts cleanly instead of tearing through. Seems to work wonders.

and they dont make serrated needles like they do steak knives do they?

I could use those for my glutes. Like punching through leather.

Hmmmm... could have used this advice when I almost passed out trying to get the pin into my right lat. Went in easy on the left (1st time lat shot). Went for the other side and almost passed out! LOL

As a paramedic, that's one of the things we do to get it through, whether it be a IV or whatever.

 

[tri~zillla]

for me, once it goes through the first layers of skin.....it's almost painless going through the fat and into the muscle

unless i hit a nerve.......

and for some reason i kept hitting nerves in my quads, that sucks......

no more quad injects 4 me

The two things I find the best are to remember let a drip of oil bead down the length of the needle and too jab that fucker in fast...

 

[GoFastMan]

Yes always letting a drip or 2 slide down b4 the jam to lube the pin a bit help alot too
