So far I found the thigh to be horrible, my inner left arm is still bruised from Monday, tummy was no big deal at all and neither was the hip. Today I tried my right arm...more on the bottom side and only see a light bruise. I am a bit gun shy to try the thigh again but I think I am going to go to the " outside" to be adventurous  |
Amy, be careful with the depth of your injections, after much trial and error (and bummers), I learned that I was going just a tiny bit too deep.
Forgive the question, it's strictly pragmatic: Are you very lean or do you have some "insulation"? I'll defer to advice of the lean ones, I'm well insulated and for the last two years, I stuck with the hip/butt and belly. The belly are the easiest for me.
Watch out on that outer thigh idea, it hurts!
