Re: how sore are injections? - Nebido in particular

[Guest guest]

A lot of doctors follow the old protocol of using a large and long needle to do

IM shots. This way it gets deep into the muscle. This is great for large muscles

like your butt but not great for the thighs. Most of us use a 25 or even a 27

guage needle with good results. You also have to take into consideration how fat

you are. If you have a lot of fat cells, you have to be able to penetrate that

and get into the muscle.

 

For me the shots are a piece of cake - yes you will be anxious at first but then

in time they become easy. Really no pain except on initial entry in and it goes

away quickly - small price to pay - Arkansas

Just wondering since most people need to go on injections at some point due to

absorption issues so how sore are injections.

I have a bit of a phobia for needles so the thought freaks me out especially

given that a large needle is needed for Nebido given the oily solution.

Is Nebido really that more painful than injections with test cypionate or

ethanate for example (if anyone here has tried both)?

Nebido seems to be the best injectable on the market in terms of efficacy but if

its a large needle is a must that would put a serious dampner on things.

thanks for your reply ..I have minimal layer of fat - infact I have always been

pretty thin and no doubt low bone mass due to low T and therefore e2.

" large and long needle " ...even reading this freaks me out.

I would be really interested to hear from others who are on Nebido with regards

to pain during injection on scale 1-10 (with 10 being really painful) and if the

effects i.e. androgen effects have been good or bad

The thought of going to doctors every 1-2 weeks for injections would be absolute

nightmare (yeah I know most docs will trust patients to do themselves but some

don't)and Nebido sounds much more practical from that sense but extra large

needle, slower injection and fact point actually poin out that its painful must

means its pretty damn awful.

I would imagine it to be getting stabbed by right deep into leg and muscle

therefore excrutiating pain...maybe but cheeks would be bit less painful of

course but still the thought.

I think in the UK Nebido is becoming the drug of choice for TRT due to cost and

low visits needed to doc's and less so efficacy as I believe NHS far more

interested in cost than patient wishes.

I recently read (well known UK opera singer) is also taking

Nebido due to pituitary op so if good enough for the well off maybe not all bad

I also shoot into my butt cheek but that was an acquired talent. It is less

painful. I have to do it in front of a mirror. I inject with my right hand (I'm

right handed) then change hands to hold the syringe. I slide the base of the

needle between 2 of my fingers to hold the syringe and then push the plunger

with my right hand. If I was doing large shots that is what I would do. Still

have not mastered the left butt cheek yet!!

so you just whack the needle in first like stabbing yourself in but cheek/leg

and thats the sore bit I'm guessing ..

the injection itself doesn't feel like a burning or anything

must leaves scar tissue though - particularly with big needles required for

Nebido

also I would have thought doing injection oneself in the but cheek would be easy

if just needing to stab yourself with the needle as once its in position must be

easy enough to inject (guess its not as simple as that though eh )
