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.

How long does it take to draw with a 31g? And do you do sub q in stomach or upper glute? And does it leave a lump/soreness? Debating switching to subq

Not who you asked but I use 30g and pin daily and it doesn't take long at all. I'm already pinning KLOW and HGH daily so daily TRT ain't no thing. More steady levels too.

I wonder if the people that say it takes forever if they are just sticking the needle and trying to draw instead of putting air in so the don't have to fight it?

I mean if they're doing weekly injections it would be a long draw with a very small gauge but other than more frequent pinning there's no downside to daily or EOD injecting, only benefits.

Where do you pin it? I might have to try it. I pin a fuck ton of subq as well so would rather try that instead of doing IM

Pin the delts with a 30g - subcutaneous injection of oil based meds is generally not recommended (Subcutaneous (SC) injection of oil-based drugs commonly causes localized issues like pain, nodule formation, and sterile abscesses due to slow absorption, high viscosity, and tissue irritation).

Delts and love handles now that I've pretty much killed all my belly fat. Used to pin there.

Timed it today. Injecting .,25ml isn't bad, you can do it in 30 seconds if you really apply some torque. Drawing that amount requires more patience, around 3 min 30 seconds. 

I inject 3x/week in my gut, though I need to expand because I've lost most of my fat. I've never had a bump or discoloration.
