Scar tissue buildup is the cause. You need to rotate sites. I use delts, quads and ventroglutes. Glutes are another good site if you are flexible or can get help. You definitely need more that two sites.
And remember quads are a big muscle. There is a big area where you can pin them so use it all.

I tried using a 22g needle in what little belly fat I do have. I tried 27g, but nothing would go into the syringe, it must be too thick or something. Anyway, no pain whatsoever. I think the difference is that you have to split up your shots. I tried .25ml on Saturday, and no problems at all, super easy.
btw, NIH says zero difference in testosterone levels between subcutaneous and IM, just an FYI.
Might want to give that a shot. I ordered some 25g 5/8" needles, hopefully that is a happy medium.

he meant rotating the injection sites, not spinning the needle around...Uaaah, yes, your doc is really an idiot!
With rotating needle you will destroy more tissue then normal.
I've no problem to suck it through a 29G needle. You only need more time and you have to warm it a bit before.
we are saying hes a dummy because hes shruging it off and not saying to use new spots, just rotate them as he has already been doing.

I don't understand why all the stress about injections. I draw with this and I inject with that one. OMG....Really ? I aspirated and I did this and that and I got PIP. It got red and sore...what did I do wrong...oooh it hurt...SHIT ! grow up.
When you go to he doctor He / she pulls a vial off the shelf, wipes with alcohol the rubber and your body. Sticks the vial , draws. Doesn't change needles and pins your ass, pec, quad, shoulder or wherever. Plunges slow or fast. AND it's over. Sometimes you get sore and sometimes not. WTF is such a deal.
I never aspirate, it is not necessary. I only change points if I draw from more then one (1) vial and even then not always. I use a 22G , 25G or 23G.
Simple Simon tells me to rotate CHANGE UP my sites to lessen soreness and scare tissue. 80-85% of the time or more I never get any PIP. many different variables, BUT NO problem. Never an infection.
Hell I get injections straight into the center of some of my joints for arthritis. IT hurts a little but goes away in hours.
But what the hell do I know I have only been doing IM or ( years ago) IV injections for how long ?? For the guys that don't know me...since before the 80's.
OH...don't push the needle in ( slow) stick it, stab it quickly all the way.
What do some of you guys think? You are stabbing your body with a foreign object and filling the muscle with 1,2,3 cc's of foreign oil. You get a little sore and red and want to know what you ar doing wrong. ??? Huh
OP my rant isn't all on you !
