I have a question for all the experts here. I posted awhile back regarding my inability to handle a needle, ridiculous phobia, but it's real. Unfortunately after 3 months of cream with zero results to show for it, doc has decided injections are what I need. My question is, what size needles are you all using, and where are you finding the best place to inject? My partner has given me my first two shots this week. The first one was in my right thigh and it wasn't bad at all. Tonight we decided to go in the same location on the left thigh because I still had a bit of tenderness from the first. This one was a hell of a lot more painful, to the point I involuntarily twitched and she pulled the syringe out. We went at it again, and did get my injection done, but I was a bit messed up after. Keep in mind they lay me down for bloodwork lol. I was told to use an 18g for withdrawl, and 25g by 1inch for injection. Any pointers? Shot 1 was a piece of cake, Shot 2 made me not want to go through this forever lol
