What not to do - Accidental Intramuscular

Wondering if this involves placing the needle beneath the skin for the therapy. It comes across as much more desirable than the intramuscular approach.

I share the surprise about the TRT shot being subq. Everyone I know who does those uses a long needle straight into the leg muscle. The only subq TRT I have come across is the pellets. Still, it is interesting to consider subq shots as another choice.

I do my Test C shots under the skin with a half-inch 29 gauge needle. The thirty gauge size still works okay though drawing the solution takes much longer and the soreness level feels roughly the same.

My views changed after forum members brought up under-the-skin shots. A handful of medical papers contain actual trial results on that method. One examined testosterone given beneath the skin and noted it offers a safe practical choice that patients can handle on their own which may boost how regularly they follow through. Another followed dose changes over a full year using an auto device for the oil-based version and found steady blood levels with only minor swings plus it proved safe easy to use and caused almost no discomfort. The third compared approaches in people transitioning and showed the under-the-skin route worked reliably caused fewer issues and was favored over the deeper muscle method.
