Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Tom- this actually is pretty common and may happen with most injections but the amount is so small as you said that it isn't noticible or mixes with blood and becomes difficult to identify that it has happened. You can decrease the amount and likihood with a couple of tricks. Try two things; first leave a small air bubble at the back of the syringe so that the bubble is at the end of the injection and inject it completely in. This works best but you can also use the zigzag technique. In this you pull the skin over a bit before injecting so that it isn't a straight line into the muscle. Using both decreases back flow to the point it isn't noticible. trannyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 My doctor originally Rx'ed 22ga needles. After shooting myself twice with those spikes, and dragging my sore leg around, I switched to something smaller. I knew I had to switch because I was in so much dread of the next shot.....

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!!! I use a 1/2 inch 27 g needle to inject and a large one to draw in the testosterone. I press in the needle until it's all the way in and then push a 1/4 inch farther (denting the skin/flesh) to make sure I'm well into the muscle. Never had a leakage problem ever. In 7 or so years of injecting, I've never drawn blood when pulling back on the syringe although the injection site bleeds a little perhaps once a month.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Your using way too big of a needle. Drop down to something smaller like a 28g and 5/8 " . Unless you have a lot of fat deposited that requires that long of a needle. Arkansas From: tomubl <ubl@...> Subject: Injection Back Flow Date: Friday, January 2, 2009, 6:48 PM I am very careful to make sure there is no air bubbles and take my time injecting. I sink a 2 inch needle at least 1.5 inches into my quad and no matter if i bunch up skin to shift it over the injection area it always seems that some of the T flows out of the puncture area before I can get a band aid on it. It isn't much that backs out, but I thought I should ask if this is normal and if there is something I can do to stop the back flow..... Thanks, Tom U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Steve, I was thinking the same thing with regards toouch. However, since I have Hemachromotosis and Iron Overlaod condition they use 16 gauge, which looks like a freakin hooka tube and I have given over 30 pints of blood in 14 months. Now down to 3-4 times a year, but 16 gauge suck. I welcomed the 21 gauge! I'll keep drawing with the 21 and go to a 27 or 28 to shoot with. Thanks to you dan and tranny appreciate the advice......... > >>> I am very careful to make sure there is no air bubbles and take my > >>> time injecting.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I used 21g 1.5 inch needle to inject for the entire 9 years I gave my shots and the majority of the time I had no soreness or problems. While you can use a smaller needle you can also use a larger one. The only difference would be possibly pain and the speed at which you inject. In fact nearly every person I know uses 21g 1.5 inch to inject. I don't know I guess I never saw it as that big a deal. trannyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I'd have thought the most common was a 25g*1 (though I often DRAW with a slightly larger needle... I order bundles of 23g*1 with an equal number of 25g*1 needles... I'm one of those guys that wants a SHARP point). I was going to put up a poll to see just that... put polls aren't available in this group.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I use, sorry, My wife uses a 22g to draw up the shot and a 25g to inject. The 25g has less scaring IMHO.

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. — Jefferson, 1802 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
