Guest guest Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 What you probably experiencing would be scar tissue around the site where you inject. My daughter, a nurse, gives me my injections in my butt, I have developed scar tissue on both cheeks from the many injections I have received. So may have to switch where she gives them to me.

I have noticed my skin is getting tougher (adn it looks " older " ). Is that a side effect or TRT? It so tough on my thigh in spots that I have to really push the needle trough it. I'm on 50mg twice a week of T-Cyp. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 When I do my shots I try not to hit the same spot for 2 weeks. Peoples skin gets better on TRT.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 When my Dr.'s office was giving me shot in the back side they would put in the chart where the last shot was so they were not doing the same spot over and over again.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Switch sites and use smaller needles. I use 29 gauge 1/2 inch never have an issue at all. I use larger one to draw and smaller ones to shot. Just have to pull the plunger and fill the smaller needle. I take it right in the shoulder no problem 2 times a week. Having you come into dr's offive is just a way to make a quick buck for a visit. injections are like 30-50 dollars a visit via insurance. your Dr is milking it for sure. > > > From: bwilli45409@... <bwilli45409@...> > > Subject: Re: Tough skin > > > > Date: Sunday, August 1, 2010, 8:09 PM > > > > What you probably experiencing would be scar tissue around > > the site where > > you inject.
