[QUOTE="ChrisPBacon, post: 4393, member: 525"] Here is one of the recommendations. [url]http://naturalbiohealth.com/testosterone-tips-for-men-women/[/url] [I][B]Injectable Testosterone. Soreness at site of injection or lack of results. [/B]At Natural Bio Health, many men (and some women) on testosterone replacement therapy use 1/2 inch 27 gauge needles for their injections. This produces minimal discomfort on injection and is satisfactory for most of our patients. This small needle is generally injected in the thigh area and sometimes in the Deltoids. Follow up lab tests prove that the smaller needle works for most men but not all. However, some men experience pain and/or swelling after some injections. [/I] [I][B]Pain or swelling at injection site[/B]. If pain at the injection site develops the day after injection that lasts for several days the medication may have been injected into subcutaneous tissue (fat) instead of into muscle. This can cause an inflammatory reaction in the leg resulting in discomfort and decreased testosterone effect. This is generally seen in men who have a layer of fat 1/2 inch or greater although it can happen in men with less fat in the area of injection.

The injection is not more painful with the longer needle (and may even have less discomfort).
