Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Thanks. I will try it on my leg tonight. Unless I chicken out. In a message dated 11/1/2004 6:18:47 PM Eastern Standard Time, nort828@... writes: Hi , I have been shooting into my thigh for the past 33 years. For the past year I have been spreading on T gel, with mixed results and a few weeks ago I called my endo and arranged to refill my 200mg of depo prescription. I shot up for the first time last Wednesday in over a year, did a little over 1/2 of a cc and I feel much better. I am back at the gym doing some light weights and machines and get good nightly erections again. I plan on doing 1/2 a cc every 7 days. Here's what you do: Draw it into the syringe, I use the same needle for drawing and shooting, I don't care, and wipe the area with an alcohol swab, and then grab a hunk of flesh the target area and stretch the skin good so it is expanded and loose for about 15 seconds, this greatly reduces the initial needle jab. Then, firmly grab with your left hand if you are right handed a nice say two inch hunk of that flesh and squeeze it so a one inch broad ridge presents itself, then with the needle's beveled tip pointing away from you firmly with a straight up and down motion drive the needle about 3/4 of an inch into the area. You could but I do not let go of the entire syringe at this point because it is stuck in there pretty good and they say to draw back on the plunger a little to see if any blood enters the syringe. I have never bothered with this, I just stick it in and then actually slightly raise the needle while I am slowly shooting the juice so by the end I am in maybe 1/2 inch. I have found that when I do this the juice is going into slightly different flesh and this significantly lessens any slight pain while injecting and more importantly reduces any bruising or swelling pain afterwards. Good luck, be brave and just " do it " and please let us know how things went! norton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 > > Norton: > Do you get inside the muscle? > Kissie ------------------------------------- I really don't know what is muscle and what is just flesh. It does not matter, just inject about 3/4 of an inch into the leg. Call it what you will! norton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Norton: I thought test cyp had to go into the muscle? I will try your method. Sounds like it may help take away some of the pain.
