Lol. And I thought I was a pussy for using 25.
I don't feel a thing with 35 ga 1in, what I use now.
The trick is to
1. Understand physiology of area youre injecting a bit...so you miss the vital spots, veins, nerves.
2. Tweak the spot (if painful, note spot, next time alter a bit). You can squeeze skin, see vascularity under, so avoid them.
3. What helps me is use other hand to stretch skin, and actually cough when jabbing, this distracts body from focusing on signal from needle. Didn't believe it helps til I tried it.
Now, I have my area picked for injections, no pain, easy.
BTW, I pin the right thigh. Soon will be pinning both right and left.
Wife offered to shoot me in the ass, I said thanks but no.
Maybe should say to her 'you shoot mine and I shoot yours'
