I have a debilitating fear of needles and had to have my partner do it for me but I did it!

    Mines supposed to be subcutaneous but I’ve definitely gone too deep a few times. Those tend to really hurt for an hour or so when i go a little too deep.

    Edit to add: I now pull the skin up and “pinch” a good bit to stick. That has helped with keeping the skin tight and helps with the correct depth. Not sure if that’s the proper way.

      Yeah you do get bumps with subcutaneous, if you mind them, then you could try intramuscular - if you get the right point in the outer thigh it isn’t supposed to hurt
