If some one could answer this that would be great. After doing a shot in my glutes - I get these huge lumps - they are a little red and warm to the touch, they go away after about a week - I am assuming that is when it is all disapated. Am I not sticking the needle in far enough - it is an 18g 1 1/2 long? what other areas are possible besides the shoulders and quads?? Thank you very much

god damn bro!!! first thing first, get 23g pins 1.5 inch!! 18g is used to draw and is way too large for injections. massage the area after you shoot(shoot slowly) and use a warm compress. good luck

you should be using one needle to draw, then a second, fresh pin to stick in your skin. The rubber stopper can dull the needle

18g goddamn....seriously man...

draw it out from the bottle with an 18 gauge, go as small as 25 gauge for your skin

oh, and wipe the bottle top with alcohol as well as your skin, just to be extra careful about hygiene
