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

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.
