Ok, so I pinned last night and tried new technique and it was great. Used a gel heating pad on my glute for a bit to warm it up. Then heated gel pack again in microwave and wrapped it around vials for just a few minutes. Didn't want to overheat haha. Draws so much better and injects better. I rested my hip against bathroom counter. Holding syringe and extending pinkie to counter it kept me so still. Zero movement. Imagine putting your fingers down to make a billiard shot. Like a monopod haha. Worked great. Very little pain today.
Nice!! I like the heating pad technique. I just relied on massaging the area really well to bring the blood to it, but a heating pad could be worth the extra effort to prepare it
If you do end up with a "golf ball" regardless of the site, Aleve (NSAID) is magic !! I take 1 liquid gel aleve before bed, and the swolen golf ball drops significantly in size. Works everytime for me. Makes me wonder if Aleve inventor was a AAS dude! lol
I massaged afterwards too. Works well.
