I need a new alternate injection site. Usually I rotate my glutes and pecs, but I had gyno surgery a few months ago and the whole area is sore and covered with scar tissue. So I need to pick something else.
I've tried looking up info on alternate injection sites but I still have some questions. I'm looking at quads or delts. I'm using the green 21gx1.5" (0.8x38mm) pins.
1. Quads: are these pins ok to use? This probably sounds stupid but it looks almost as if the needle is too long and will go straight through the muscle. Should I push the pin in from the side, so it goes through the muscle and across the leg, rather than directly down from the top of it? Also there are prominent veins everywhere, should I be looking at a more specific spot (other than the broad areas shown on google results)? I feel like I'm gonna be playing around dodging the veins...
2. Delts: I can't see any prominent veins here but again it looks like the pin might go straight through the muscle. Should I push those pins all the way in? I've had injections done there by the doctor but I don't know what pins they were or how far in they went. Thanks
