      it’s not consistent it all when you are injecting into muscle sometimes it’s totally painless sometimes the needle will a hit a tiny nerve while going in and it will hurt a lot

      i’ve also had times where I must have nicked a vein or something since it bleeds like crazy after pulling the needle out and other times it doesn’t bleed at all

                  yeah my doctor actually gave me insulin needles I think(?) because they wanted me to try doing subq but IM is just what i’ve always done so I keep doing it
