[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 205020, member: 13558"] I am not a doc or a pro at this stuff, but from the pic, it looks like you injected too close to the knee. I've been self-injecting (quads) for about 10 years now. At first, it seemed like I was hitting nerves and causing pain almost every time. Then I started to learn to jab (and withdraw) the needle straighter, and that helped. Then I started aligning the beveled edge with the grain of the muscle fiber, and that helped (this one REALLY reduced post-injection pain). Then I started using one needle for drawing, and switching to a brand new needle before injecting and that helped too. My latest foray has been into slow insertion of the needle. This is an interesting technique, and I have hit a nerve here and there, but I am able to push through and the nerve reaction is much less severe than if I use the jab technique. [/QUOTE]
