Efficacy of same site injections

[waterbottle1258@tutanota.]

Building up scar tissue doing:

• 25 gauge x 1" needle
• glutes, alternating
• 2x per week

So I switched to:

• 27 gauge 1/2" needle
• delts, thighs, alternating
• 2x per week

Do you think TRT efficacy will increase by not injecting into the same spot all of the time (scar tissue)? Please don't respond with "The only way to find out is with a blood test". I plan on doing that. I'm curious of other people's experiences.

Good question. Wondering the same as I tend to frequent the easy access areas . Rotation is not my strong suit.

27 gauge 1/2" needle

Why not 29 guage 1/2"? Same length, but much more thin.

I do daily injections so I have six areas I inject. I inject in my VG, sub q in love handles and shoulders..

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

So I ran across the term "Ventrogluteal IM injection site" and found an article describing it as what is currently the most medically recommended injection site. I tried it a few times now and have to agree. No blood gushing pinholes, no veins, no nerves, minimal pain. IN: The Ventrogluteal IM...

I could. It seems easier to find 27g. The Easy Touch ones I just bought are a nice upgrade from 25g

I know. Wish I could do glute all of the time

Been doing IM injections now for 42 years now. I have so much scar tissue that I can bend a 27g. Have you tried sub-q? I use a 31g insulin syringe, warm the test cyp in the microwave for 10 seconds and do 35mg x 2 and 30mg x 1 every 10 days. I have a friend that does 10mg every day.

Just switched to the shallow IM with 27 gauge. May look into sub-q later

Forget the 25s.

Good to alternate injection sites.

Even then trauma/scar tissue will be minimal when using a 27-29G insulin syringe injecting strictly IM let alone 30-31G strictly sub-q.

Most on trt are injecting IM or sub-q using LDS fixed insulin syringes 27-31G various needle lengths.

I was going to start a new thread but I'll just ask for opinions here.

I pin .32 ml EOD and alternate between the glutes and delts using a 1/2" 29 G needle. My problem is that I often have a hard time pushing the plunger down when I inject the delts. Sometimes there's so much resistance that I have to find a different spot because I literally cannot depress the plunger. Both shoulders have permeant lumps in the area I inject. Is this scare tissue and is that why I'm having difficulty? Can I break down the scare tissue?
