    For Vlog #6 I teach you to give yourself (or someone else) an intermuscular (IM) injection with NO pain--really! Common medications given IM include: hormone replacement therapy for men and women including trans folk, fertility treatments, and vitamin B-12 shots. This is NOT the technique for giving subcutaneous (SQ) injections such as insulin.
    This video is actually a re-make of a one I posted ten years ago which has gotten over 1.8 million views. Clearly people found it helpful. If you want to see the old, amateurish vid, follow this link: • 💉 Painless Self-Injection .

    This is for anyone who still couldn't do it!!!
    I watched the injection part a handful of times and sat around for HOURS, trying to convince myself, and couldn't bring myself to do it. There was something about stabbing it fast like a dart that I just couldn't do. If this applies to you, try this; For some reason, it occurred to me that maybe doing it slow would be easier for me since I know the needle is very small and sharp. I figured I had nothing to lose because I was in full control and could stop at any time or if I felt pain. All I did was press it against my skin, apply slight pressure, and it went in almost effortlessly and painlessly. It went in far enough that it was easy to just keep pressing it in. None of it hurt whatsoever. Including pulling it out. I still stretched the skin as recommended, but I also bled a decent amount. I'm sure that was because of my method. Good luck! Please let me know if this helped anyone. 🙂

      I saw a video, where they say once you have given yourself the jab and the needle is in your skin, support the needle next to your skin, so it is not moving in a circle under your skin. With the needle stationary, it should hurt less, bleed less and help your medicine inject easier.

      " I love how inclusive it is for anyone who might need to self-administer." Of course you do, you too are a leftist. Politics has NOTHING TO DO with self administering a shot. It matters not why those watching are injecting and the majority of people have anxiety or they wouldn't be here. Addtionally, the majority of people injecting are men with low T and their politics dont matter, they have to inject whether they're right, left or center. So politics should never be brought into this. But that difference between yourself, a liberal, and me, and independent. I respect people enough not to cram my politics down their throats.

      Better than mine, 109 at 45 y/o (early morning lab) yikes! I'm a biological cis man, just testosterone issues since early 30's, but never this low! It has fluctuated, but no insurance for a long while. I used to use topical TRT (androgel. axiron) but my insurance won't cover those, so it'll probably have to be injections when I see the specialist (urologist.)
      IDK what to expect, not bothered about the shot, but topicals mimic natural levels throughout the day (declines as the day goes.) So here I am, trying to learn how to do it. Thankfully not different as b-12 (except thicker) but haven't used those in a long time, so needed a refreshment crash course, so that's why I'm here. Best of luck to both of us.

I also made sure to rub the area after removing the needle. Great advice- worked perfectly!!

      @@independenttntn3276 I figured out (I think) that it was due to my low body fat percentage. I weigh under 120lb, and was not able to grab much fat for my subq shots, so it hurt. And when I did IM with 1in needle, even that was too long and was making me hit bone or something.
      So I’ve been doing my IM shots in thigh with a shorter, 25g x 5/8 needle (what I used before for the subq) and I have almost zero pain now.
      You can also try to ice the area a bit before injecting so it’s numb. And don’t tense up, that might trigger the involuntary muscle spasms. It’s happened to me twice. Very bizarre feeling.

Doing the cough and dart method has certainly helped.

    Thank you! I just started B-12 shots in my thigh. I have never injected myself, I did my first injection without your video. I did not stretch the skin or cough. But injected it, completely pain free. I was shocked, generally when I get a shot I feel it. I did not aspirate it the solution is red. I did not feel even a pinch, no sting no pain easy peasy-lemon squeezie. Then because it was so painless, thought I should check to make sure I did it right! I normally would do this like a dart but put it in a little slower than you. I was not as fast as you but still not an ounce of pain. Now I would rather give myself shots over a nurse. Only once has a nurse applied it so well, I did not know she had given it to me. But thank you for the tips, but I will stick to my method. I may stretch it next time, or just continue my way. Thank you for your informative video. Much love and God Bless!

    I'm here to show my gratitude to you. A little over 3 years ago, I had zero knowledge about these stuff but wanted to use testosterone as I just started going to the gym. I jabbed myself for about 3 weeks (twice a week) but stopped as it was too painful. I've been using orals (D-bol) ever since but they're horrible on my liver.
    I've decided to jump back into the test game. Did proper research, asked my gym buddies (that's using) and watched your video. Back then, I used a 19g needle to jab myself and they hurt. I'm using 23g now and used your method (minus the coughing) and I don't feel a thing! It's going to be easy from here on out. Thank you yet again!

      You didn't inject it intramuscularly though, did you? B12 should almost always be used through an s.c. injection. Most B12-Solutions can be used through IV, IM and SC injection but unless there is already an intravenous catheter attached or you have some tissue illness that doesn't allow for s.c.-injection, you should ALWAYS go for the subcutaneous injection as it is by far the one with the least amount of risk. I.M and I.V always come with a comparably high risk. Even though we have a pretty good understanding of the general location of veins; it still happens pretty often that a simple IM injection paralyzes a person for life, because a significant nerve was accidentally hit and cut.
      I.M. should only be used over S.C. if the medication is specifically only allowed for S.C. (like most insulins or heparin and enoxaparin for example) it needs to be absorbed rapidly and an IV would take too long to administer due to bad veins. Classic examples would be Morphin and Midazolam in emergency situations.

    Injecting in a hot shower helps big time imo. Oil thins out, muscle is more relaxed, and the skin is a bit "softer". Expanding the skin on the injection site in the shower is also a huge benefit. You can also use a half inch 100 IU insulin needle in you deltoid, thighs, chest, calves, ect.... You just need to back fill it with a larger need to draw up the oil.
