[QUOTE="Incidentals, post: 1461264, member: 79068"] I see no-one has suggested the safety needles, these hurt less because they suddenly put the needle in and the time to worry about the pain is away before you can really think about it!... that sounds odd I know but it seems to be true. When my 3 year old bestest nurse uses the safety needles I feel less than when I inject myself and that is for any site. I rotate all my sites and find the bottom is particularly immune to the needle as are the tops of the flabby bits of arm and as one of the respondents has already mentioned if you feel the tip of the needle as "too sharp" simply move a little to the side until you don't and continue from there. It burns when its cold and it burns when injected into muscle other than that it is much less painful than most people think. I am so glad we can use tiny 4 and 5 mm skinny needles rather than the 25 mm thick needles my mother started with aged 14 that she had to hone sharp with a whetstone - I still have them as a reminder of the suffering she endured just to be there for her family.
