Thigh injection issues

[purplesunsets]

Anyone experience one thigh being more sensitive than the other? My left is easier to inject Novorapid less chance of bruising or bleeding. My right I seem to keep getting bleeders and red spots. I use 4mm needles. It's getting frustrating I recently started injecting in the thigh.

I have not experienced this but wonder if it is something about the angle of injection.
I always favour my right thigh because I am right handed and find my left thigh more awkward to inject straight.
If this is the case, I am not sure of the answer apart from maybe (painful) practice

could not do my thighs. to many nerves. lucklyavery large stomach provided a decent range of injection points.

I had a problem with my 4mm needles and lumps. The specialist nurse suggested 5mm needles and they’ve been fine since the switch.
