while im here warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is
follow up how many sites are in your rotation

i changed nothing except letting the swab dry and the stinging stopped completely
bleeding a little means you nicked a small vessel. it is not a technique failure
unrelated but update from 16 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site reactions stopped, someone check my working
abdomen two inches out from the navel, avoiding anything that has been injected in the last month
does injecting a cold vial hurt more or am i imagining it
push slow
technique probably
update on the earlier thing 90 degrees or 45

does the injection site matter for how quickly it hits
sharps bin
push slowly. fast is what causes the ache afterwards, still working it out
a fresh pin for the injection hurts less. whether thats worth the extra dead space is your call
the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small
31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back
rotate
if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle
coming back to this thigh or abdomen, does absorption actually differ

let the alcohol dry. that is ninety percent of "my injections sting"
do you count to five before withdrawing
45 degrees

the needle went in fine but it stung going in, alcohol or the compound
*PeptideMeter not the other one

absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound
cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes
small bubble is fine
do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for
dont recap
[edited]do you change the pin between drawing up and injecting
31G 8mm

29G in 8mm or 12.7mm for abdomen
how far from the navel is actually far enough
