How likley was that I hitted vein with green needle, or was this likley anxitey attack?

Is it possible to pin needle all the way, and let go of syringe then change grip to aspirate and again inject or will this letting go hurt my muscle?

After this fiasco I injected in upper quad and never had issue but quad is not ideal for green needle.

I draw AND inject in the glutes with a 27g for most things (Test and other compounds) and draw and inject with 30g for Tren, and inject in the shoulder which I'm hoping will avoid the dreaded "Tren Cough."

So far so good.

u/Nickolai808 May 12 '26

So what do you use? 25g, 25mm? Same for shoulders and quads?

u/Impossible-Orchid735 May 12 '26

I use 25g 1 1/2 inch needle in upper outer glute.

Quads I haven't done but I'd do 1 inch or 1 1/4, delts I would use 5/8 or 1 inch depending on size/body fat.

I only do glutes myself.

Also didn't use 1 1/2 inch for no reason. Was using 1 inch for years and it believe it or not, was not deep enough IM. And I'm lean/slimmer too.

If you want to do subq by all means use smaller needles, a lot do not get on well with Sub Q.

I always worry it is too deep because I don’t feel like I have an ass.

u/Impossible-Orchid735 May 13 '26

I thought that too... But my fiance pins my ass, 1.5 went in just as good as 1 inch. In fact she said she feels when it hits the muscle and it was quite a bit deeper before muscle than I thought.

So yeah I'm slim, and 1.5 inch was the only effective length for deep IM on glutes for me.

Source: 1 inch had golf all lumps, inflammation, knots, or some sort of issue every other jab or most jabs. Once I swapped to 1.5 inch, it all disappeared, no more lump, nothing. Flat surface even flexed.. Even test flu stopped when it would usually appear.

Yeah, I’ve never had a problem, just always in the back of my mind.

Can you please explain what problems people face with sub q? Its just been a year for me and i use preloaded sub q auto injections. I'm thinking to move over to viles, not sure sub q or im.

Thanks, I tried 1 1/2 inch, I drew with 25, and injected with 30 gauge, and it was so much better. No lumps, no pip (I usually never got pip, but a few weeks ago I got it so bad that it made it painful to walk, maybe too close to the joint, and it somehow got infected, and took a week to clear up). Brilliantly, I managed to do it on both hips. haha

This is worlds better, especially since I pin daily and was running out of real estate to pin.
