push slowly. fast is what causes the ache afterwards

update from 2 months ago: switched to a fixed rotation and the site reactions stopped
pinch

is there any reason to warm the vial in your hand first
ok so if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle
fresh pin
rotate
try the thigh
slightly off topic but do you pinch or stretch
genuine question do you use the insulin syringe for both drawing and injecting

not a problem
does injecting a cold vial hurt more or am i imagining it

small bubble is fine
i keep getting a small welt at the site, technique or reaction
how do you avoid hitting the same spot twice when the marks fade
push slow
slightly off topic but nobody here should be telling you where to inject. we can tell you what we do
welts at the site are usually a mild local reaction and rotation sorts it
dont recap
pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising, take that with a pinch of salt

the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small
how many sites are in your rotation

do not reuse pins. it is not about sterility so much as the tip being blunt after one pass

let the alcohol dry. that is ninety percent of "my injections sting"
coming back after 24 months, has the pinned technique guide changed
let it dry
