Leg self injection exact location

[augor]

Hi guys
I've read many articles discussing injection in the leg, but I'm unclear as to exact location to inject.
Is there a site that not only shows me, but has a way I can measure somewhat to find the right spot

Thanx

Hi Augor, I have read a manual, with pictures, that explained it thusly....

Assuming quad is parallel to floor (i.e. sitting on a chair with foot flat on the floor), injection height in relation to the leg, is about 1/2 inch above the bone, into the quad, for about another 1 1/2 inches. In relation to position between hip and knee, place the heel of your hand at your hip with your fingers pointing forward along the quad. Where the fingers stop, this would be the upper most region where the injection site stops. Similarly, place your fingers at the knee bend, again with your hand running along the quad, where the heel of your hand stops, that is the lower most region of the injection site. So, now you have a pretty large area within which to pin which will bring down the chances of generating scar tissue...

Does that sound like something that you have heard?

Good luck,

H

Pretty much, but your explanation was better.
Sounds like leg injection won't be as bad as I thought , it's a pretty big target.

I'll be starting injections myself next week and want to be prepared.
I would Do the glutes but my doc shoot my TRT dose there, and I plan on blasting for a bit

search youtube for "dr runels painless testosterone injection" he marks his leg with a marker to show you where it is safe to do it. good video overall.

Thanx for the replies,

It seems there's so many ways ppl inject in the leg, some are more to the front of the thigh, and alot do I right at the side of the thigh.
Another guy i seen does it almost at the hip on the side, he claimed it causes less pain.

Today's my start day, so guess I gotta suck it up and just try a spot, see what happens

This site was very helpful for me....SpotInjections.com

So i did the injection and it seems a success , alittle soreness starting about 20 mins after
But the whole process made me think, wow I worried for nothing.

Here's a question though, if u inject but it doesn't make it in the muscle, would u know right away? How would it feel?

usually on the thighs area (outer thighs) men don't have that much fat (only in very obese ppl) so if injected with a 90 degree angle following the curve of the thighs with a 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" pin u can be sure u injected in the muscle and when pinning u can feel the pin piercing a hard tissue after penetrating the skin and the fatty deposit that's when u go slowly cuz it's a bit painful, here u know ur in the muscle.

sometimes when pinning the muscle twitches if near a nerve , but nothing serious don't be afraid it happens all the time and if the pain is intolerable then remove it and change site in ur thigh, just an inch away.
