We've all been there. For me, I was scared as piss and stared at my ass in the mirror with the pin loaded for over an hour before finally plunging it in. To my surprise, it felt nothing like I was expecting, and I think once you push through, you'll realize the same thing. The only real pain is the initial prick from breaking your skin. Now, I actually look forward to my injections. Maybe I'm a bit sick this way, I don't know. I inject exclusively in my thighs, almost daily, and prefer it over any other injection site, mainly because you have the most visibility and control with both hands. Good luck.
