Hey everyone. I inject T every week into my thigh muscle(rotating from one lef to the other). I was told to do it on the outer part of the muscle, my issue is that my muscle is only about 3 inches wide(not sure if thats typical) But I was wondering if anyone knew if I can take it in the middle of the muscle. Im worried about missing it because Im pretty sure I have before lol.
Thanks in advance!
Imagine you are looking at your own butt Divide your cheek into 4 quarters (in your head) and inject in the top right corner....I used to be a nurse....avoid anywhere near the middle because you have a major nerve running down the middle
Cheers

Sarah, he's injecting his thigh, not his butt. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fthefiringline.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Fsmile.gif&hash=2c5a4907e2673dfa63557696254abe82f5c9641e)
Jesse, as long as you're injecting lateral to the midline of the thigh, you should be fine. What size needle are you using? I use a 1", 25 ga. needle, which I think is smaller than what most docs prescribe. If your thighs are small, you probably don't need one that's any bigger than that. Hurts less with a smaller one, too.
Oops Speed reading again.....in that case....as above........slow slow slow they dam well hurt
Hey Jesse,
Below is a picture of my leg and a rough idea of where I'm injecting. I rotate between 4 different points on each leg. I draw up my testosterone with a 24 gauge needle and inject with a 20 gauge needle. I stick it in 3/4 of the length of the needle and inject from there.

Please ignore the phone shadow :) I'm in Panera and it's weird enough taking a picture of your pale man thigh, slightly weirder to do it with flash.
Thanks guys! I use 1 inch thats 22g.
