indeed, injecting in the same spot can give local hypersensitivity to some components, and swelling to some extent. i asked a few relatives who are doctors before starting.

any point with a little fat os skin flab is fine. if you accidentally hit a muscle, there's nothing to fear if you don't flex that muscle while the needle is still in; hitting a muscle may hurt a teensie bit more. just try not to hit bone, tendons or any other delicate tissues.

i suggest alterning legs and arms, or also pinching a little skin on your belly, or side, to create a small bump, and injecting, without squeezing too much. rub to make absorption a little faster.

personally, i havent noticed any significant changes in time abort between spots; minor blood vessels are quite uniformly distributed in most body parts where it is adviseable to inject.

Hi Jay,

Good question, I was wondering the same thing about shooting in the thigh or in the arm.  I've never tried the arm so I really could not tell if there is a difference.

Have you seen the Imitrex tip on the left?  I just tried it a few days ago and it worked like a charm.  A little more complicated but
it helped me go through a few rough days without overdosing too much on the Trex.  Thanks DJ!

Best of luck!

Hey there,

As a skinny guy myself, I tend to take the cartridge out of the pen and go in at an angle, using a Q-tip to push the meds in.  I know this sounds strange, but it hurts less going into the fat than the muscle.  I also alternate, arm on shot, thigh the next and vice-versa.

Hey all and thanks for the answers..

Yes i have just tried the injection trick and it worked great for me, i couldn't believe how much it DIDN'T hurt, im a bit needle shy and usually have to psych myself up to use it even in the pain but i could honestly not feel a thing. Not to mention the lack of strange feelings all over wich i always get from a whole vial.

Plus i now carry the remaining half of one of the vials in the pen so i can use it in public if necessary, its all good.

Will definately try it in the arm soon now..

Thanks again

OllyJay
