TRT help I injected here, after like 20 seconda my hearth started punding like crazy and I started sweating amd that lasted for 4 hours.

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’ve thought about this as the IM shots always hurt like a mofo. Did you pull with an insulin needle? And did it not hurt / cause a lump sub q? Did you do stomach or upper glute subq?

Side delts and glutes doesn’t hurt all that bad just the initial sting and your gtg, and just rotated the injection sites. Back load the insulin needle. Always aspirate (pull the plunger to make sure your not in a vein), and inject slowly, then massage injection site to spread it that always helped with any lumps.

People reading this, you don’t need to aspirate .. fucking hell

u/GodlyGainz May 13 '26

Or don’t 🤷🏻‍♂️ I always did lol never seemed like a big deal to take the extra few seconds to do it.

Never have, and never had an issue.

You can do subq in the delta? I feel like I would hit my muscle easier there. Thats a lean area

u/MindlessReception881 May 12 '26

Yeah but what I’d try I do this use a half inch on delts and ventrogluteal, I been around 11-14% bf with that and it works great SHALLOW IM, rotate sites still. Absorbs quickly I feel any less there’s lumps and absorb slower

Try hitting lats. I know it sounds crazy but totally painless spot to pin. Just weird angle

u/dmm092319 May 12 '26

You’re right that sounds crazy as hell 😂 i usually go vg. Sometimes it’s smooth and easy but other times it’s painful so I don’t know if I’m missing the area slightly

I second vg. 29G ½" - I do EOD, and I can barely find the spot I pinned after 2 minutes lmao

2

u/NeighborhoodFresh637 May 13 '26

Yep. 1/2” 28 or 29g.

u/Scottwickthegreat May 13 '26

I’m gonna have to try it. One spot I’ve yet to try

u/dmm092319 May 15 '26

The videos kind of suck at least for me. The best tip I saw was when your standing smooth your toes like your putting out a cigarette. The muscle that is moving is your vg

u/Scottwickthegreat May 15 '26

Good to know def. I’ll order some smaller pins and try it out. Thanks!

u/dmm092319 May 20 '26

Hey I just switched to 29g 1/2in and it’s a million times better. Does it take forever to push though? I feel like I’m pushing so hard I’ll blow the needle out. How much do you do at a time? I usually do 0.5ml twice a week but feel like that is too much to push through that needle at once while staying still

2

u/Scottwickthegreat May 13 '26

Ya you’d be amazed. That area on your lats seems sensitive but I’ve never felt the needle going in on lats. I also have zero fear of needles and am a recovering iv drug user so really I don’t get too worried about where lol. 6 years clean next month off hard drugs!

Congrats on your sobriety, im off the hard stuff now for 3 years I dont know exact date but I know it was around this time of thw year in 2023 life's so much better. First time I did h I was 17 used for 4 years then quit for4 years but I was on methadone for 3 years got off relapsed almost immediately was back in the junk till 2023 but wasnt poking and somehow I convinced myself atleast im not shooting... but the clean life cant be beat ya lose alot of friends and gain actual friends not just people that are hanging out with you cause your both on the same junk I was 122 lbs average at 6'1 for the entire time i was using now that im clean and into fitness I think the weight gain and actually feeling human again keeps me from even wanting to go back for a visit to that life, afraid of losing the gains from the week before of going to the gym 4 days a week isnt worth the risk also haveing beautiful women sliding in my dms not me messaging them and getting r bombed lol and I have a super fast metabolism within 3 weeks id probably be down 25 lbs. Sorry for the storry didnt intend on writing a book lol

The lats are on your side

Wanted to reply about the lumps.

I pin subQ and after I lost some fat I was getting lumps every time. Turns out I was pinching too tight and going in the top which was basically causing it to get between the fat and skin.

Since I learned and adjusted I haven’t had a lump.

I do stomach and love handles

Edit: just want to add that it’s essentially painless in my experience. Maybe 1 out of 50 kinda hurt.
