[@Yahweh851]

This is the by far most helpful video to self administer... well in the name of Jesus here i go

[@keeleycooper7296]

Howd it go? I'm about to self inject my depo shot lol

[@nsw_27]

How’d it go? 🧐😓

[@karmel4978]

I agree its the best vid on yt explaining that. Ok, let's do this

[@CC-qo3rl]

@@keeleycooper7296 did you do it? This is the exact reason I'm here for this video. I don't think I can do it lol I did t realize how much needle needed to go into me 😱 I have a feeling if I actually get it in that I won't be able to pull it out and will just be running around screaming with a syringe hanging out of my a**

[@bamikefaolasile5520]

[@FloreFleur]

I agree that this is one of the best IM self-injection videos out there

[@lankafuits]

One of the best IM injection videos I've seen.

[@Bob_Sage]

Thank you! This sure beats the shaky nervous slow plunge into my thigh that I've been going with for the first few weeks. Today was a game changer.😬

[@RobPinionYes]

Thank you! The best, most useful video I have seen on this subject.

[@arabrablynn]

thanks. this is my favorite video to instruct patients on giving IM injection

[@ayamohamed1092]

Thanks so much for this useful video.. today I injected myself after watching the video and finally succeeded 😌

[@cnan36]

These instructions helped me. I can now administer my B12Mic shots without issues. ❤

[@uchennanwaneri2138]

My best video on this topic I have ever seen. The tutorial is so good I watch it over... Very helpful. Well done 👍❤

[@vlevy01]

Omg I did it! I can’t believe it! Thank you!

[@rahjinaestephens6659]

The best video…I’m about to give myself the shot

[@soheilakbari5551]

God bless you,you guys are life-savers

[@manikondalokeswari6467]

The best video ever watched

[@gabigray7332]

Thank you. I watched a few videos but after seeing your video here I felt so much more confident and did the shot.

[@feminineattractions]

How was it?! Lmao I need to do it too lol

[@gabigray7332]

It wasn't half as bad as I thought it was going to be!

[@jglove7]

Can’t thank you enough for this 🙏🏾

[@gooicho]

Saludos desde Teteles, Puebla! I was just looking for this; I used to have a friend who would come to give me a flu shot or penicilin, depending. Well... I tested positive for covid (total bummer!) Anyways... thank you so much Chief Nurse! (if you aren't, you must be promoted!) I really do! Muchas muchas gracias!!

[@the_unknown_gardener]

THANK YOU! now i dont need to wait 6 hours just to get a depo shot!

[@chichidoo]

watching this for my deposhot too i am terrified

[@marcyxfinn]

Just gave myself my first shot holy crap. Very helpful also very strange to put a 1.5 inch needle through your cheek

[@Initium1000]

1.5” ugh. I switched to 1” but I use my thighs

[@HealWithDrDV]

Thank you director mam.

[@graphic.designer]

thank you very mush

[@aurismushroom]

Thank You!

[@lctrcmx]

I am going to try this !!!

[@mayradelarosa6161]

Very informative, just one question. If you have a medicine that is on the bile and the medicine is for 5 days what do you do to the bile?

[@ATAHUALPA867]

Thank you .

[@gennesissalazar4966]

Thank you so much

[@cristinamihaela695]

Thank you

[@uchennanwaneri2138]

Thanks a lot

[@JooJooShrimp]

Very good video

[@Garbageprincess]

Shite site 3:34 , gave me a giggle. Excellent video, thank you!

[@cristinamihaela695]

Best video

[@resulyldz9213]

Attention! after penetration - before injection you need to aspirate by negative pressure. if there is no blood you can inject the medicine inside muscle. Very helpful video .

[@BEG_Bueno]

this is actually outdated information and can cause more trauma....Don't take my word for it do some research yourself but aspirating isn't necessary hence why she didn't say it

[@hagakuru]

why didn't they aspirate it before injecting?

[@bigtimepimpin666]

Well done. Nice target, too.

[@madasamya9330]

Nice video

[@ThanhTran-33333]

Is this a dorsogluteal or ventrogluteal?

[@nutmegmike4627]

I was given by my pharmacy a 3ml syringe with an 18gauge needle attached already and was told to use this setup for BOTH drawing out my testosterone and injecting into my muscle. Would that be okay to do?

[@TweezyGame]

NO!

[@MateoLopez-gm5yf]

what gauge needle?

[@ZA-dd8qq]

Is this B12 amp injection?

[@josea.esparza8394]

My thumb feels the hip bone...? Not sure if Im doing it right

[@ahmedmohamed-fo5jl]

👍

[@water2chick]

Ugh, I was prescribed Lupron and idk if I have the stomach to self inject

[@BizzyIzzy87]

This maybe silly but I am not flexible enough to use 2 hands. So doing it myself one handed kind of scares me, especially if i want to alternate left and right as I am not left handed.

[@karmel4978]

Im flexible enough but still sared of injecting niddle in wrong spot

[@jerrysmith5262]

I know, I would like to know what to do too

[@zeeshankhan-fe2fs]

well do it in quads

[@okayypaulaaa]

I'm so scared I don't think I can do this lol😭😭😭

[@CharlieP.]

No checking for a vein hit?

[@sarahdickens9738]

Please could you explain about the decision not to aspirate? For me this is the biggest problem with self-injecting - if I aspirate like most informational videos state, then the additional "fiddling" leads to more muscle pain in the injection site. If I don't have to aspirate, that's very good news for my next run of 8 weeks(!) of self-administered injections! But I'd like to understand what risks I might be taking.

[@ELBarbarro]

Aspiration during injection is no longer recommended.

[@ancar-j3901]

@@ELBarbarro From when is no longer recommanded, i ve just finished the school yesterday the last exam:) and in our book still advise us to do that ! So… how about reading more…. Could make you smarter… and do not advise people about something you donnot knew very well!

[@LG-ht5bc]

@@ancar-j3901 what school? Aspiration for IM injections are no longer recommended. Nonetheless, I’m assuming that was b12 based on the red color. With that said, aspiration is pointless being you wouldn’t be able to tell.

[@LG-ht5bc]

@@ancar-j3901 congratulations on your last exam though! That’s exciting! 😁

[@ancar-j3901]

Maybe they need to grow more like experience no? :) common …. In europe, i’m from europe , romania. It was 3 years school…. Whatever ….. i prefer to trust the teachers not youtube persons! Have a nice night!

[@cybermollusk]

So you inject roughly where the tip of your thumb lands? That's maybe the most helpful targeting tip I've seen

[@michaelnikprelaj6679]

I kinda bled a lot after doing this. Normal?

[@bigman1286]

You didnt aspirate

[@bigtimepimpin666]

I'll just shoot it I to my leg. I would need a few years of Yoga to do it this way. Great video though.

[@karmel4978]

So you are injecting only 2 ml. Lucky one

[@godgamersdie193]

idk.. that's that needle looks scary as fuck... I'm gonna die... that's it, it's the end for my ass

[@mohdabid2953]

Why most people don't prefer injection area as thighs?

[@enriquemoon]

That didn't look like a MML though....

[@sirtainlee8725]

I am not sure where you are on the backside. I can't tell where the waist is, nor where side to side.

[@sirtainlee8725]

I suppose the hand in the back pocket will have to do. Also, I noted that you didn't aspirate first. Is it ok to skip that?

[@stboko]

Why didn't you aspirate before making the injection?

[@nagendrasingh489]

There is no major vessel in glutes.thats why there are specific IM sites. In bulk muscles I don't think there is any risk of finding any blood vessels in the way of injection

[@jamessethmoore]

Believe if or not it was removed from the protocol. I still do it as I've entered a vein on more than one occasion. Why take the risk?

[@TreeFallFree]

Thats old school now!

[@eliakimmwangu7310]

Not.me...let me die peacefully

[@predjee]

Why is no one doing aspiration

[@user-sw5vi1tq2f]

Jako me je strah injekcija iako vidim da je ovo tanka igla ali je dugačka i prodire duboko u mišić.Do sada su me boljele sve inekcije pogotovo one protiv zgrušavanja krvi poslije operacije,što se daju u trbuh pacijenta.😱😱😱😬😬😫😖😖🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡👹👹👹👹👹👹👹

[@shooga2731]

U should aspirate before injecting to make sure its away from nerves

[@springbok4015]

Aspirating normally is to check you’re not injecting into a vein. Normally that won’t be the case for IM

[@passportbro904]

@@springbok4015 still gotta be done, prevention better than a cure

[@tasha9650]

I'm learning so I can give myself glutathione intramuscular. How do you aspirate correctly?

[@fjallabrjotur]

@@tasha9650 Aspiration is not needed if you actually inject in one of the four zones. It's no longer proper medical procedure. The areas you are supposed to inject in will not have any major blood vessels, and aspiration makes the injection more painful with no science backed reason to do it.

Oh nah I can’t do it 🥲
