Pinning Question...

[daufc]

Ive done a couple cycles now and must of pinned my glutes 50 or 60 times but it still takes me about 2 to 3 minutes from the pin breaking the skin to injecting.... now dont know if i just being a wimp ;p but does any one else have any similar ways or is it just stab it in and get it done.......

just stick it in. What gage are you using to pin with. Are you changing pins after you draw it from vial or using the same one. I ask this because the needle will dull a bit after sticking it through the rubber stopper. Try switching to a new sharp needle 22-23 gage.

2-3 minutes?? Id say the whole process, sticking it in, injecting and removal takes maybe ~30-40 seconds. Count 3 minutes, thats a damn long time.

Stick it in, ASPIRATE, push the plunger to inject at a moderate rate (be a little patient but no reason to go too slow), i usually leave it in for a few seconds after im done injecting and take it out...

yeah quit being a puss. quicker it goes in less it hurts. once it breaks the skin you don't even feel it so why draw it out?

i know what the op means. I push the needle in very slowly because once i hit a vein and i've been gun shy ever since.

I was too low on the glute though when i hit the vein about half way down the buttcheak.

Try rotating the needle while u have pressure on the plunger, there should be a sweet spot were it goes faster.
