Shots, and how much of a box that I am about them.

I have recently been prescribed medicine that has to be administered via the needle. In my hip of course. Having been a runner for too many years, leaning over a table or something is the worst, because I have no fat there at all. My leg muscles are always seeming to be contracted.

Silly chick I live with all too enthusiastic about doing it "for me". I'd rather tape  the syringe to the wall and back my ass into it that have  her skinny shaky little fingers administer it. Another thing not to like about this stupid bitch is that she loves eavesdroping on my phone calls, and my Dad was asking me about it. Got called a box a bunch of times. I can deal with it, but between back and elbow surgeries, the tests that require being electrocuted to see exactly where  the nerves are damaged/pinched, etc....and all the other crap related to the wicked car accident I was in......I really don't want some ill tempered mean bitch giving it to me. Just worn out by medical procedures more than I can describe.

Thinking about just going to a doc in the box showing him my script and the bottle and pay him to do it.

Thoughts? (about going to a doc in the box...of course I know that I have to dump this stupid mean bitch)

Oh yeah, I made a suggestion in help section about making the title of this thread

"Food, Fitness, and Health."

I believe that there would be enough health questions out there. Seriously.

LMAO...

I thought I called myself a box in the thread tittle, not a "box". 

I had to do this shit for a couple of years (had to do with something I got from blood tranfusions during my heart surgeries)

I had to do the shots in my thigh like 3 times a week...I am a thin guy, you pinch the skin and then do the needle in the middle.
I was nervous as hell to do the 1st one, and was always paranoid about making sure there was no air in the thing but I got used to it. f'n legs would bet bruised every so often if i would tense up when doing it.

if u want you can send me a PM or if my post was enough then thats fine too

NJ, I will drop you a note tomorrow. I don't understand the pinch the skin thing.

These needles of my appear to be fairly big. Maybe I am being a box about this, or I think that I'm just worn out by having so much done in a little over a year.

You pinch the skin and then do the shot in the middle of where you pinched...makes you not feel the needle

Ughh...Are you serious? 2mg? Am I to assume that you can do this in your hip, and I guess at a straight angle?

It's an oil based steroid if it matters.....

NJ, hope you see this and get back to me.........I don't want to pay a doc in the box $100 for the visit.

Its a 1 time thing?

where did they tell you to do it? I wouldnt imagine injecting somthing yourself into a bone is a good idea...you need to have some meat to inject into, thigh, stomach, etc

I dont know how much each dose I had to do was

Id atleast call a doctor or even go to the pharmacist and ask them what exactly to do

NJ, it's thigh. upper outside quadrant

Is that an answer that works? I'm not kidding how much of a box that I am about this.

Thanks.

Sounds like what I'll have to do, unless I figure it out. The Doc that prescribed it is two hours away. Grrrr...

There should be enough thigh there to do the shot and be fine.  you pinch the skin and then as you are pinching it you put the needle in the part you are pinching.

you know how to make sure there's no air in the thing and all that shit right?

you'll be fine

but talk to the pharmacist anyway and theyll explain it to you

NJ, yup, I know about the no air bubble thing. I'll take a couple pain pills, and then do how you told me tomorrow. Can't do this right now......Straight through the middle of where I pinch, right?

This looks like a big fricking needle.

The Doc gave me the first one, and I swear the bastard was 6ft away and practicing for a dart league or something. Seemed like he threw the thing from about 5 ft away or something. I wanted to turn around and smack him silly.

Thanks bubba.............

I really hope that I don't build up the nerve to do this to myself tonight.

Straight through the middle of where I pinch, right?

Yep

Lots of air bubbles are good, right?

J/K Thanks NJ
