How To Guides: Giving Yourself an IM Injection

[Doctor Dan]

For those starting out and wondering what is the best way / site to administer an IM injection to yourself, there are a number of very helpful patient guides published by Krames Online which explain this, with diagrams:

• Giving Yourself an Intramuscular (IM) Injection
• Giving Yourself an Intramuscular (IM) Injection in the Arm
• Giving Yourself an Intramuscular (IM) Injection in the Buttock
• Giving Yourself an Intramuscular (IM) Injection in the Hip
• Giving Yourself an Intramuscular (IM) Injection in the Thigh

IMO, the thigh is the easiest site for self-administered IM injections, although I am sure other people prefer the arm or hip.

I agree the Thigh is awesome, unless you hit something that it doesnt like and then the pimp walk really sux...

This recommends no more than one cc in the upper arms. I do my 1 cc testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in my upper arms(rotating per week). However am about to add some Deca for a 10 wk cycle so i'll be injecting basically 2 cc's of solution per injection. Has anyone injected this much in the upper arm? Or do I HAVE to go to the thighs or hip/butt??? I just got "comfortable" doing the arm shots. Any input?????
