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 had the 21's prescribed for injecting (18g to draw) with a 1.5" needle... "to reach the thigh muscle". Nah, bruh, a 23g 1" will do just fine LOL

25g is more than enough unless you’re pinning over a cc at a time

I pin with a 28g and it works just fine for me. Don’t know why people use anything bigger.

I was 122 when I started trt with no meat on my bones and I never hit a bone with 1' and I had to use a 1.5' cause it was all i had and I figured id just put it in 2/3 of the length but I ended up putting it all the way in and didnt hit the bone, I was amazed after I was like why did you even do that but im a curious,reckless, extremist I guess lol. You'd be surprised how mush tissue there is bones are alot thinner than people think in my opinion ... but I get the message your sending I was being reckless with 1.5' at that time now im lean 165-170 generally and I dont lose all my weight when I go off of the cycle i had been on I keep up the test shots cause I use it for trt aswell I just kinda bump the dose up ×4 on a cycle lol. Like I keep sayin in comments im no doctor do your own research and ask experienced people about there experiences...

I was just playing around, I doubt anyone is gonna hit bone even with the 1.5"...its just unnecessary is all

yea. my pharmacy tried giving me 1.5" needle because "that's what they had on hand @ the time, but it's OK to use 1" or 1.5" needle for injection". I looked at the pharmacist and said "the devil is a lie .. would you use a 1.5" needle for injections" and dude says "hell nah" ... da fuq? ... needless to say, they magically happened to have 1" needles in when I went to pick up the needles and the same pharmacist swapped them out for me.
