My wife has me switch thighs
every week
But she just went up to twice-weekly injections, and so far we have been switching up each thigh twice a week
I’m not sure if this is doctors recommendation or research my wife did on it’s own through Reddit and such
I usually switch sides, it's also what my doctor recommended doing as to allow the thigh/stomach/glute muscles some times to relax between injections and just better distribute 🤷
Sometimes it bleeds more! Sometimes it hurts more. It's okay, it doesn't mean anything. As long as you swab it before and maybe after, and get down to the muscle or fat specifically, you'll be a-okay ^~^
If you pay attention to the sensation inside your body (gross/scary, I know), you should be able to feel a very slight difference when it hits the muscle. If you have a lot of adipose in the area you may need longer needles to reach the muscle, but intramuscular and subcutaneous- (cont):
-intramuscular and subcutaneous are roughly equivalent AFAIK so it's fine. If you're not feeling a difference inside your body and you're doing it on a part of your thigh with a broad layer of subcutaneous adipose, then it's probably going subcutaneous. But again, that's completely fine afaik. ^~^
You should switch sides to avoid building up scar tissue. When I was growing up I had an injection every day and the doctor said not to use the same body part every time.
When I was on them, my provider told me that you definitely switch every week! It'll make it more painful & difficult if you keep injecting into the same spot over time because of scar tissue & hardening of the fat & muscle.
