[QUOTE="Sakuraba39, post: 71580, member: 15636"] I have been injecting (thighs) for nearly 15 years. The last 10 or so have been with 27g 1 1/4 needles. I have not noticed any scarring (skin level, anyway, who knows what's going on underneath). There has never been any pain or indication of muscular scarring in all that time. Recently, however, due to the overwhelming practice of posters here, I switched to 27g 1/2" needles. Specifically, for low dead space needles/syringes. I had never heard of them before until reading posts here. I had a few used syringes sitting around and I pulled back on the plungers and was surprised at all the fluid still in the syringe. Anyway, back to scarring, I changed to low dead space, fixed needle insulin syringes and while there is very little T waste, there is a fair amount more pain involved that my previous method. I never drew and injected with the same needle. You wouldn't think that the plunger dulls the needle too much, but I'm thinking it does enough to possibly be a factor in scarring. I've only been using the new method for 4 injections and each one was more painful (during and after) than any injection over the last decade. There is no visible skin bruising, but there is some pain when touched at the injection site. If most of us are injecting hundreds of times a year, with the same needles we withdraw with, I don't see how there cannot be some level of scarring. [/QUOTE]
