how do I get over my fear of needles, i'll be on trt soon. just wondering I don't wanna to the doctor ever week lol
She was laughing her azz off at the bar that night with her coworkers.When I first started injections, I had to go to my doctor so a nurse could show me how. So there I am sitting in my underwear and she shows me how to draw the oil. Well she kept the same needle which was a 1.5 18g (I’m pretty sure that’s what it was). F$ckin huge needle, and she’s saying to just plunge it into my thigh like throwing a dart. I said the whole needle? She was like yep. I knew right then it was going to be a long morning . I hesitated over and over. After about 15 minutes she said she could just give it to me in my glute, but I wanted to start doing it myself to save trips to the doctor. After about 15 more minutes, I finally jabbed it in. I was surprised it didn’t hurt that much, but the whole experience was a little embarrassing. But lemme tell ya, the pip over the next 3 days was brutal. Could barely walk. Learned real quick what a 1” 23g was, and later what a 5/8 25g was for my delts. I also use that for quads when I want to rotate sites, and barely feel anything. It becomes just another thing to do every week.
You won’t get oil through a 31. I mean maybe if you backload it and heat it you could push it, but you don’t have enough hours in the day to wait to draw oil through a 31.damn y'all gotta use big needles for the oil huh. I was thinking how much better the 31 gauge is compared to 29 but y'all are doing 25 ha! (I'm just doing water based stuff)
"like a dart" couldn't this bend the needle if done wrong?the best thing you can do is just not be a pussy. Put it in there like a dart, release the test and take it out. You make it harder by worrying about it so much.
Yeah honestly this is well said. Like pulling a bandaid off when you aren’t comfortable with it all yet. Slip it in and push.the best thing you can do is just not be a pussy. Put it in there like a dart, release the test and take it out. You make it harder by worrying about it so much.
Could, but I have never seen it happen !!"like a dart" couldn't this bend the needle if done wrong?
Unless you're part rhinoceros it's not going to bend the needle. I have bought really cheap 30 gauge slin pins before and they occasionally would kind of bend to one side slightly if I moved it around too much while it was already inserted, but the act of sticking the pin itself in is not going to bend it"like a dart" couldn't this bend the needle if done wrong?
That's what happened to me, then after months of daily pins you start getting sick of it lolYou may just look forward to it after awhile
YEP !That's what happened to me, then after months of daily pins you start getting sick of it lol
