First subq burns.

I have been going in the thighs and shoulder shallow IM and just started subq today in my love handle after the shot it burned like alcohol was in there for a couple minutes. Is this usual?

It could be a little pain from the alcohol. Are you injecting testosterone Sub-Q or HCG.

SubQ is worth trying but if your former injection method was working I wouldn't stray from it.
I'm using a 28g-1/2" needle SubQ.

Also I have only been injecting IM for about 28 days and I'm now changing my dose from 100mg a week split up 3 times to 40mg eod. So are there any reasons why I shouldn't go with sub q? I'm already changing everything up and adding HCG.

Personally I never liked Sub-Q injections. I inject both testosterone and HCG shallow IM, with a 29g 1/2" easy touch syringe. I rotate my shoulders and VG.

It took a little practice but here is my favorite place to inject.

Best testosterone injection site, no aspiration needed, avoids all nerves

So hcg is fine for IM? I was wondering about that the other day but had never heard of anyone injecting it that way.

I inject it shallow IM, so does Nelson.

I have been doing subQ for almost four years. The only time I ever experience the burning sensation is if I inject into belly fat. It never happens if I use the areas around my hips.
