Accidental IM injection?

[Bagel_Biter88]

Has anyone ever done that? On purpose or on accident?

I ordered some longer needles on the cheap. I'm definitely not skinny, but they're also pretty thin, like 30 gauge. I don't think I will use them, but I hate to just toss stuff out.

 

[Dakota1976]

Just toss them!

I like to learn from other people's mistakes. If you try it, TELL ME.

Oops! Sorry 'bout the coffee on your screen! Laughing so hard!

How long are we talking?

You don't need to jam it all the way in, but if you have some padding around the middle, you should be able to sink a 1" needle in without hitting muscle. You could also inject at a slant.

 

[Salad_Life]

Yes, how much longer? Like, an inch? Half an inch?

 

[Bagel_Biter88]

I read that the fat layer acts as a kind-of slow release system. Intramuscular messes with that timed release and can make side effects stronger. I don't like the sound of that!

So, it's not TRT?

 

[Dakota1976]

Needles are cheap. You're nuts.

 

[Bagel_Biter88]

The difference is 0.1875 of an inch.

But what about people who are already lean and just want to tone up? Is it riskier for them?

What Is TRT?

 

[InsulinResistant]

That difference isn't much; I've used three 1/2" needles today.

I also use 1/2" for TRT subq. I even bought 100 29ga 1/2" needles to check if they work better than 30ga.

TRT means Testosterone Replacement Therapy.

For skinny people, pinch the skin and inject. It's only a tiny difference...

My goal is to get down to 250. And every now and then I see pieces of 200 pounders in my poop. LOL

 

[Dakota1976]

I've thought about trt, but I'm going to get my levels checked first. I know AL offers it, but it is expensive.

 

[InsulinResistant]

I'm around 260 lbs now. I think I prefer the 1/2" needles over the 5/16".

It will be a while before I can't fit a 1/2" needle into my stomach fat.

You can get a legal supply for under $100 each month without insurance if you have low T.

 

[Reese_2007]

Could you use them for venting your vials?

 

[Dakota1976]

Yes, I'm going to look into it after a surgery, heard a combo with Reta, TRT and other things combined with exercise would be good.

 

[Dakota1976]

Good idea Reese_2007

Sorry, TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy). It is a super THICK substance to push through a little needle.
