This is why, Lower stomach nerve sensations are distinct from other body parts due to a reliance on the autonomic nervous system, resulting in sensations that are often diffuse, dull, and visceral rather than localized and sharp like skin sensations
Really? I never knew that. I was thinking there would have more nerves & pain?
I hope you're feeling much better today!! Do you normally have sensitivity behind your arms?
Still surprisingly sore. And I don't actually know; I've never had an injection there before. Zero chance I hit muscle, though; not with the little clip pinching the skin, a 5mm needle, and my arms not small enough yet that I don't have fat there. It just is not at ALL a good site for me to use, apparently.
Ever get a tattoo and it goes to the back of the arms? It'll make winch pretty good and clench the arms of the chair. That areas tender.
Im going to try the belly this week. My thigh looks worse now, its not that big a bruise but bigger than before & dark. That was the 10 & plan to do that again this week, so I need to choose a better area & not look like I was beat up, ha ha
I hope its better today!! Did you get any bruising? Especially with the clip pinching. You were very brave!! 🙂
No thank you!! Yes, its my most tender spot. I do have some but not there, ha ha. Hopefully it was fast & your artist was skilled!!
Hell, the pen outline even hurt. 😆
Definitely a thumbs down experience!!
Maybe its just be or was a bad spot! 10u is not that much. I have always bruised easily.
It's not about the amount, I think, but about accidentally hitting a capillary. I bruise like a peach, lol.
I've seen 8mm suggested on another site to stop bruising and it seemed to have helped the person that had trouble with bruising. I was looking into it because my wife bruises easily and I was leaving marks on her with a syringe traumatizing us both. 😳 I was also going in at and angle and saw 90 degrees with a pinch was recommended by injection pen manufacturers.
It is, thank you. No bruising, just sore as heck for a day after. And honestly, I blame Serena Williams. I'd never even thought to use the back of the arm til I saw her do it in a commercial, and was like "oh, maybe that's more comfortable." SERENA WILLIAMS LIED TO ME.
Never trust celebrities!
idk exactly what your referring to, but serena william’s husband is a pretty big investor in the ro company that she advertises for.
She did an injection in the back of her arm in a commercial, and did not immediately stop smiling and yell "ow fuck, that HURT!" I am betrayed.
Yes she did!! 😉
And I'm sure her arms are all muscle. I don't know how that didn't hurt her!! Unless it was one of those fake needles that push in for props, lol
When you were little did you like/not mind them too? Everyone prob feels different pain/sensitivities? Or maybe you always were administered by those with great hands so your mind wasn't nervous? You're very lucky!! 🙂
😀 Actually, I think I just got used to it. If the stick isn't on their game, it usually takes them at least 6 times to get an IV started. The record was a PA that stuck me 15 times before the charge nurse saw what was going on and took over. It sounds like we're on opposite ends of the spectrum.
Wow 15 times? They must have been new!! Ouch!! And I have good veins so its not that, wow. I did find my fav place to get blood taken, but of course the guy is no longer there. He was Amazing!! Hes a huge tall muscular guy that was not friendly at all (until I went several times & brought out his nice side with compliments that were well deserved). Perfect example of looks can be deceiving, I thought he was going to be the worst & rough.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! Went up to 12u today & lower belly & didn't feel anything (of course iced & lidocane 1st) but no blood, bruising & didn't feel anything. I appreciate you convincing me!! 🙂
