Abdomen vs Thigh vs Tricep Injection sites.

Mine are the BD ultrafine 0.23 x 4mm needle? I did go up to the 5mm one once but it was so painful and was making my site bleed when injecting into stomach. If your v active then legs will be sore for you as your probably same as me and don't have any fat around the thigh area-hence why I go for the botty ha

I'm skinny too so I use BD 0.23 4mm needles too. I once only had 8mm needles, (It was all the chemist had left) and it was like a freaking blood bath everytime I injected. And it hurt!

8mm?! I would have had a breakdown when given them!! I was upset enough when I got given 5mm cos they ran out of my normal ones, let alone be given needles double the size!!

I just put it in VERY fast so it doesn't hurt, because the more slowlier the more painful
