[QUOTE="krm, post: 127979, member: 19012"] Hi guys, I usually do "deep" IM (with a roughly 20mm / 6/8" needle in 25G) into my quads. I do this ED, alternating between 16 sites (2 "lines" of 4 spots in the "available middle outer third" of each quad). Never any issues, little bit of a sting when entering (I do it slowly) but apart from a little soreness, no PIP. Yesterday, I tried shallow IM for the first time with a 1/2", 29G needle. hit it right in real quick (as the needle is so short, wasn't worried about hitting any nerves/veins). Virtually painless. Great! A few days later, this injection turned out to be the most "painful" so far (painful being relative to other injections). It's a shart pain in the injection site everytime I move my leg, it hurts when putting pressure on the spot, and it's overall "uncomfortable". Given that I never had this with "deep" IM (20+mm), I was wondering whether I just hit a shallow nerve or something and it's just bad luck that this is on my first "shallow IM" injection? Thanks!
