Injections
 

Ive been shooting for about 2 weeks now, but I have a nurse do it for me, I would like to learn how to do it myself but I am worried I will hit a vein when I put it in my thigh. Is the outer thigh the safest? and what happens if I aspirate but hit a blood vessel accidentally ?

That should give you all the info you need

Celt gave you two of the best site for injecting.

the top/outer thigh is the best location to do it for sure. to find the best spot take your index and your thumb, spreak them wide apart. put your index on your knee take mental not of where your thumb is on your quad. do the same from your hip. that should give you roughly 3 inches, that's your target.

If you hit a vein, and at some point you will at least once it's nothing to worry about. for those using a 1.5" needle you can just pull the needle out a bit and inject away. I use a 1" in the quad and if I hit a vein I rather just pull out, change the tip and start over, same thing if you hit a nerve (those will make you jump the first time for sure)

best of luck bro

ok thanks alot guys, Ill try myself soon im just making sure I have this down before i stick myself

spotinjections.com make sure and aspirate

I would say 75% of my injections on legs I hit a nerve. Sometimes I can hardly walk the next day. It's weird because most people say they're one of the easiest and safest places to inject.

I can do pecs, triceps, lats and other spots that really bother people and they don't effect me at all. Glutes are my favorite but over the years i have built up scar tissue.

I've built up a lot of scar tissue there too bro. For your legs, try taking a really hot shower before your injection. It seems that whenever I hit quads after a shower I don't hit nerves.....not really sure why but it works for me :)

Yeah I've tried that as well. It's just not a good spot for me.
