What do you guys think of Insulin needles?

[Dr. M]

i got 3 words for you:

BALLS OF STEEL!

Seriously bro - I use 21g 1-1/2" for ALL of my injects. And I really don't mind them either - I can hit my tri's with them and not be bothered, hit my delts like I'm walking down the street, and if I could hit my quads while still sleeping, it wouldn't wake me up.

I've had a LOT of exposure to needles though; I had 6 (count 'em, SIX) cannons (we're talking 18g or 16g here; pink and purple nibs) in my right knee at ONE TIME for an arthrogram...

My orthopod (team doc for two of our professional sports teams here in Edmonton - if you're from around here, you'll recognize the name Dr. David Reid) hit me with a couple of cortisol shots intra-articular using 16g's; my doc right now (another one of my surgeons) uses 18g's for fan-pattern marcaine injections in the front skin of my R knee when they're doing work on nerves caught in scar tissue - in the office, no less...

So really, a 21g inch-and-a-half'er feels like a goddamn holiday.

Im with Jim...with tren and spot injecs its easy and painless. Doesnt take much time at all. I take shot in shower after work. Water warms it up...and muscles are realxed pop it in and push up against the wall for 1/2 cc as the plunger sticks too far out to get any pressure(i have small hands i guess)...then squeeze the rest in with hand. dosent even take 1 min.

I like my BD 27g 1¼. They work great for everything with minimal scaring AND it’s a removable needle. They do require quite a bit of pressure which is why I never use these for glutes—it’s just too awkward to reach around while pressing that hard. For glutes I use the trusty 23g 1½.
