Injection anywhere in the thigh?

[Dominick_81]

I got my T shot today by a different nurse b/c the nurse who gives me my shots was out sick today. But anyways, she asked me where I wanted the shot in the thigh. I had no idea, I thought the injection had to be in a certain area in the thigh...? Can you give a T injection anywhere in the thigh? I didn't bleed or anything, I just though you had to be very careful where you inject the T in the thigh...?

any meaty chunk of muscle is a good spot, I injected on the rear of the thigh where it was thickest. generally it's safe as long as you aspirate the needle/pull plunger back a little (or try) and don't get blood coming back

Thanks Flan.

On the outside upper thigh because there are no major blood vessels in that area.

Shown here on a diagram:

However, any muscle will work. That is just the conventionally used one.

outer upper. like if divided your thigh in half then quarters you need to inject in the upper outer quarter.
