some just hurt more than others kind of how it is. Make sure your needles are only 1in needles and if they are longer only go in about an inch. I have better luck when I kind of get the needle in quick vs pushing it. Make sure you are hitting the outside of the quad, so if you are looking down about a quarter of the way to the right. If you want little or no pain just about every time use the ace.

Are you wiping the top of your vials with an alcohol wipe, then wiping your leg (in that order)? Are you using a new syringe and needle everytime? Do you always asperate? Never put a needle in a vial thats been in your skin.
The fact is, sometimes you can get an infection even when all the precautions are taken. Personally, i dont have good luck with quad injections. I stick to the glutes and the delts. I use my girlfriend to help with the glutes. Lots of guys do it themselves, but it can be difficult to asperate, hold it steady, and inject consistantly one handed.

This is a problem that many people have had with quads. A quad shot will never be as pain free as a pin in the glutes. There are just more nerves there and your quad seems to work more then the glute when doing simple things like walking or running.

Do not pin in the middle right in the center of the quad. Simple body mechanics, whenever you move your leg what part of the quad moves and works most? I and others have found that the "sweet spot" for injecting into the quads is to pin high to the outside of your quad.

when you say asperate that refers to ''flagger back'' is that correct.
