even after so many years of self injecting you sounded profoundly agitated and nervous, thank you for this video.

[@g.shultz2512]

It's nerve racking. I've been injecting myself once every other week for over a year and always dread it. It's not hard, doesn't usually hurt, never hit a vessel, but stabbing yourself always just makes me nervous for some reason.

Mine hurts like hell bro. I seen them do it in another video and they call it the z method I believe but when I let the pressure off I could feel the needle moving and ripping through my muscle and it hurts. I didn't even inject at that time I pulled out and pinned a few inches away exactly like you did and have no pain. Thanks man.

[@user-ly3js3fz5l]

OMG, thank you. I have been doing injections for like 8 years and yes the needle anxiety is real. I always have a hard time not hitting a vein and when hitting a nerve it can be very painful! Thank you for your video and you helped me find the better spot to hit the muscle.

okay…. i’m on trt. i’m also an ex IV opioid addict. that crap scares me. i don’t think you understand, (cuz i didn’t say yet), i used to IV into my jugular. and THIS scares me. is there anything you think you could say that could help me? it’s just BLAM! needle in. 👀

[@ohmmygod4963]

@@threestans9096 I'm an Ex IV Opiate user, I don't use an autoinjector (yet...) but I've been on Methadone for the past 8 Years with a couple relapses...but I am now 6 Years and 11 Months clean from Opiates...(I am on Suboxone to get off the Methadone, and although it gives somewhat of a Stressed out/Jittery Feeling, for TRT, it's much better since it doesn't seem to affect my Testosterone Levels as much...) it's also so much easier to get off of than Methadone... I mean, I never IV'd my Neck or Crotch Area, but at one point, I was taking 10MG of Fentanyl a day! (10x1mg shots), I also killed my Forearm Veins...(they were sooo nice, IYKYK LOL) But IM and IV is much different! Not the same feeling at all... In fact it's a Chore and a Pain to do it... Also, there are no "Withdrawals" so you don't necessarily feel like you Need To, or Want To... If I break something in my body like a bone or whatever an am in pain, I'll gladly take IV Dilaudid or even IM Dilaudid, but there's no Pleasant Feelings or High that arises from Testosterone, but doing my Injections in my thighs is something I NEVER look forward to! It'd be a Different story if it was Nice, High Quality Opiates (S.E.A Heroin/Dilaudid or Something along those lines...aside from Morphine since it has NO Effect Whatsoever on me..). But yeah, Trust me there's nothing to be Scared aside from sticking a 1.5" 22g Needle inside your Thigh or Buttucks. Good Luck Bud!

[@LivingwithXXY]

You can do it!

[@clive1294]

I've been doing this for about 4 years now, twice a week. The one thing that I have been doing for about a year now is pre- and post-massage. What I have found is that if I simply do the injection as you did in the vid here, I will on occasion get a lump from the injection which will be painful and will persist for several days. So, before even cleaning the thigh area, I do a brisk massage (basically rubbing up and down the thigh muscle with the heel of my hand) for about 30 seconds or so, until I can feel that the muscle is nicely warmed up. Then I do pretty much the same as you, except I do the syringe by hand, just dart it into the muscle (very similar to your mechanism, in effect). Once I have completed the injection and swabbed the area, I leave it for a few seconds to dry and then I once again massage the area. This time I massage until I feel it was enough - some days that will be 20 or 30 seconds, some days if I think I feel a bit of a lump I may massage for a minute or more. since I have been doing the massaging, I have had very few painful lumps - and then only really when I have been in a hurry and not massaged enough. By the way, I use a 29 gauge needle most of the time. This helps with slowing down the rate of injection, which I find to be a good thing. One more thing. I used to do testosterone twice a week, but I found that it was difficult to manage especially DHT. Since about a year ago I have switched to testosterone once a week, and nandrolone once a week. Nandrolone is essentially testosterone with one atom swapped out in the molecule. Since nandrolone does not convert to DHT nor does it convert to estrogen it is perhaps worth considering if you are on TRT - for me, at any rate, it seems to work fairly well as a half-substitute.

[@LivingwithXXY]

Not at all

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

I've been doing TRT for 8 years and I switched over to 30g insulin needs about 4 years back. I can tell you that my levels stay at around 1000 with around 1cc per week so there's no detriment to not going deep. The insulin needles are 0.3 so I do my injections every other day to keep the levels steady. I load the small syringes in batches by taking out the plunger and backfilling with a larger gauge syringe. Its a tougher push to get the thick liquid through the small gauge needle, but its better than being a human pincushion with those larger needles.

[@LivingwithXXY]

Ive started to use 25g needles and they are a game changer.

[@nathanmorton4576]

Hey mate, do you pin your tighs with the 30g? I've pinned my leg for the first time this week and got such a strong post injection pain, omg.. I use 29g half-inch insulin needles. I ask because I have the feeling that this pain comes from a subQ leak, due to the needle not being long enough to reach the muscle? I know that pinning virgin quads can be very painful the first times, but idk.

Thanks for posting these videos. I am a 62 year old male form Holland and I have been using testosterone since I was diagnosed with KS at the age of 22. Back then the only treatment was a an injection once every 3 weeks. After a while there were pills available and now I use Androgel. My experience: As I can compare, for me the injections were terrible because of the extreme sex drive in the first days after the injection. Pills and gel took care of that: testosterone is entering the body gradually. According to my internists through the years, all treatments work well for me. A question: why do you recommend gel for young guys especially, as I saw in one of your other posts? Thanks in advance for your view on this. Take care!

[@LivingwithXXY]

Its all based on what insurance will cover and if remembering to do your shot, gel, etc is easy for you.

[@jasonboyd9753]

Just to elaborate yes it's bases on what insurance will cover but anything can be approved with proof of medical necessity most of the time. The biggest advantage to the gel or patches is you don't have such a peak and low with injections you get a high peak the first day or 2 and then it drops off rapidly which can also elevate your red blood cell count which can cause you to not be able to use testosterone. I recommend using pellets they inserted in the butt cheek every 4 to 6 months and I have seen very good results hope this helps.

I recently switched to SUBQ!

[@TimeLordWereWolf]

Thanks so much for the video! I know this is an old video so you might not see this but could you please tell me what that auto-injector is called and where I could get one? All I can find on the internet right now is pre-filled insulin pens, nothing like what you have here. I was doing my shots really easily for about 12 weeks but all of a sudden I just Can't do it, none of my tricks are working. I sit there with the tip on my skin and I can't bring myself to push in and I feel like I'm going to pass out.

[@LivingwithXXY]

Try SubQ and ask your doctor. The injector is from a company called union medico.

[@marlonbrandhild3599]

where did you buy

[@doitordont6150]

Do you start to build scar tissue in your leg over time? Or does it damage the muscle or area over time? Or does putting it at different areas prevent it all together?

[@So_cal00]

Have you ever had issues with the auto injector of having the 25 gauge needle bending? About to order one, after hitting nerves twice in a row its got my anxiety high

[@marwanal3780]

What's the name for the auto injector please? Thank you

[@beccapeck5102]

Thank you! My husband just started on weekly T shots for low T. He asked me to do it. I've given the cats subs fluid but never on a human! I have needle anxiety. I just gave him his 3rd shot. It's terrible. The T is so thick I have a hard time pushing in the med. The needle goes up and down in his leg. I feel terrible. He hurts for a couple of days. I really like the auto injector. Just Googled them. There are so many options my head is swimming. Can you recommend your supplier and model? I don't push the needle all the way into his leg. I've seen other videos where the needle goes all the way in. Maybe it will be easier to push in the meds if the needle is all the way into the tissue. I keep telling myself I'll get better. Poor guy. TY for all you do

[@changliu3902]

you should push the needle all the way in because that will help stabilize the needle and not move around so much. So then when you push hard on the thick testosterone, it wont hurt as much since the needles not flailing. All this is considering youre using a pretty standard sized needle like the one in the video. Try going all the way next time, it helps the pain

[@joshuastewart3156]

You can also roll the loaded syringe in the palm of your hands for about 30 seconds. That will warm up the medicine and make it thinner and easier to go In.

[@thelemniscateconstellation2753]

try warming the T first by holding it it in hands or against your body for a while till the vial is nice and warm.

[@jonireunanen3004]

what is the name of that device and where can i order one

[@codycumberland1426]

How long was your needle?

[@kurzajtomasz3394]

Hey, I never basically pulled back a syringe. Doing injections around one year mostly ass. It might happen during this time something bad to my organism?

[@NavajoJoe66]

What kind of auto-injector is this? And where can I get one? I couldn’t find one on Amazon that looks like yours.

[@keithw8739]

i cant seem to find your auto injector online, can you provide the name brand of your injector or a link?

[@rogertoledo478]

Great content. What is the name of the needle guard device?

[@LivingwithXXY]

Union Medico

[@BryanRoupe]

I just started test and deca recently and im glad im not the only person that gets injection anxiety. Im running 1ml test and 1ml deca twice a week. It takes a while to empty the syringe which in itself sucks and deca is way, way more thick than the test.

[@trevorhamilton]

Thats a huge cycle if its your first

[@LivingwithXXY]

Not sure what deca is.
