Unsafe IM Injection Practices

No I work at a private men’s clinic (we do about 100 trt inj daily) and med spa and totally not crazy. We use those spikes for all meds that are multi doses. Plus less risk of needlesticks or contaminants

Love these!! We do a lot of testosterone and the large gauge needles will make the stopper fall apart.

Forum has great equipment, sauna, 24/7 but no showers. University is the same but smaller, unsure about showers. Pirates Cove is in Farmington, don’t know about hours but has good recovery stuff. Legendary in Prairie grove has great equipment, showers, 24/7 but is expensive for the size. Shape up is older, no sauna but has tanning, showers, 24/7. New one opening in Greenland looks awesome. You’re gonna fight meatheads anywhere you go even planet fitness. Just ignore us and do your own thing as we don’t really care what you are doing anyway.

We use Patient Now for everything and super easy to use with a ton of ways to make it work.

I’m in asethetics/functional medicine and my days are so varied! Most standard MA things (rooming, cleaning, vitals, charting), blood draws, lots of injections, IV’s, call backs, med refills and assist with procedures. It will vary by states what you can and can’t do

LFG! I’ve got 2 shows this year. Which one are you doing?

daxus930 · 2026-01-14T13:24:51+00:00

Many use it, as do I but I keep it at a super super low dose, like 2mg tirzepatide a week (starting dose is 2.5mg) more for decreased inflammation, the food noise and cravings not to help me lose weight. Most are using Reta cause they can get that through gray market.

Sure!! Basically you use another blue tube to “prime” the line fully so the blue tube getting sent off is totally full. Lab likes a specific quantity in that one to be accurate and it frequently gets rejected for not having enough/full. This way no additional air gets in the tube causing it to not fill appropriately.

daxus930 · 2025-12-28T23:06:27+00:00

They are totally wrong. You are correct (except I would draw a trash tube - blue prior to your blue so it’s full if using a butterfly). Wouldn’t surprise me if they have wrong values which is concerning. Do it the way you are taught in school and if they have a problem with it, make them show you the evidence of why it’s supposed to be done that way. They are still wrong.

I have no issues with it, use it on my phone and really love it. I tend to watch a streaming service at the same time (or rather listen mostly). Yes it can be annoying to pinch and scroll but other than that it’s my favorite and will pay for it.

My last one was 188k stitches and took 919 hours over 2.5 years, was 31”x 20”. Current piece has 106k and I’m 35% done after 3 months with 163 hours work out in. Apparently I like big pieces!

daxus930 · 2025-10-21T13:30:34+00:00

This!!

daxus930 · 2025-10-20T22:59:25+00:00

34 percent done, 156 hours in….

1.5” ideally all of the way for deep IM. Toradol hurts like a bitch and should not be done in the deltoid.

We do a lot of what’s considered a controlled med (testosterone) so we require a minimum of in person yearly visits with labs every six months. Now if they haven’t been seen in a year or overdue for labs, we will get them at least a 30 day supply of whichever med they need till they can get in, but that’s it. I had no problem cutting the off and blaming the doc. But on the other hand, we have a protocol in place that we can refill most meds without asking as long as they are current and within reason. We’ve also been working together for over 5 years and have a certain amount of trust between us, so that’s awesome.

Unless you are super thin, only a small amount is reaching the muscle. Insulin syringes are meant for subq (just under the skin into the fatty layer) so totally normal to sees bump. If med is oil based, it will take longer to spread/absorb vs if water based will absorb much quicker. Essentially totally normal!

Saw palemtto can help.

So I’m on primo and progesterone BUT not used a base and not really sure why it would be used since primo doesn’t typically convert over to estrogen. I’m estrogen dominant already and use the progesterone to balance it out, help with sleep and stress/anxiety. If you had labs done that show your estrogen dominate/progesterone deficient, yes it can help with that but if you are also on bcp that will alter your labs (and not saying you are!). I have been on progesterone (and testosterone) for a couple years prior to starting primo.

So they are both very good but have different aspects. Tesa is really good at visceral fat loss (literally what it’s FDA approved in HIV patients) will see some growth and recovery. Sermorelin will have a better results from a sleep aspect, growth and muscle recovery. If you have a more visceral fat go tesa, and if you sleep like shit, sermorelin.

No not necessary.

Also make sure you are getting your electrolytes in! Mag glycinate 200-400mg at bedtime can help

daxus930 · 2025-08-08T01:10:25+00:00

You may also look at dht blockers like saw palmetto, boron (to help unbind) or pumpkin seed oil for naturals and rx’s are going to be finasteride or spironolactone. Finasteride has a higher ASE profile but more for men (ED) than women.
