- meniscus_mel — unrelated but never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves 12:50
- meniscus_mel — if you are getting a lot of bruising, look at how fast you are pushing before you blame the needle 12:52

welts at the site are usually a mild local reaction and rotation sorts it
push slow
drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly
the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small
i changed nothing except letting the swab dry and the stinging stopped completely
cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes
unrelated but never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves
