Glute Shots (useful information)
This was originally posted by me over at my home board AnabolicReview.com (now Steroid.com) Since this came up here in a recent post, I've copied my original post here. Please note that the the company UPJOHN is no longer selling depo-tesosterone (testosterone cypionate). UPJOHN sold it's rights of depo-testosterone to PFIZER which produces depo-testosterone under the subsidiary company, PHARMACIA.
The following is an edited version of the original post:
This is true and good information for anyone who has taken painful shots in the glutes:
I had my doctor's assistant show me exactly where to inject my test AND I called Upjohn's help line and spoke to one of their help line nurses. (UPJOHN is the manufacturer of Depo-testosterone aka Cyp). Here's what both have told and shown me, and it works:
Before I tell you this, let me tell you that the pics on spotinjection.com for glutes are lower on the butt than they need to be and may have you hit a vein and/or a nerve (there's a huge nerve line running through your butt--you DON'T want to hit this).
The butt's devided: Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Maximus. For intramuscular medications (such as test and other AS), a shot in the Gluteus Medius is JUST AS EFFECTIVE as in the Gluteus Maximus (my doctor's office and the Upjohn nurse both verified this).
The pic on spotinjections.com is in the Glueteus Maximus (and this area hurts like a bitch anywhere from a few hours to a day after the shot). On the other hand, a shot in the Gluteus Medius is practically painless going in and has no after-shock of pain. NOTE: Injections into the Gluteus Medius are also known as Ventrogluteal intramuscular injections.
Here's how you locate the spot where to shoot:
Put your hand on your waist. The spot to inject is located approximately an inch below the area where your thumb and forfinger makes a V. It's in that area just above the big dimple when you tense up your glutes.
It works like a charm. If you need to know: I'm using 3ml 22 gage needles that are 1.5 inches long. The needle label is written like this:
3ml 22G 1 1/2 (0.7mm x 40mm).
Stick the needle in at a 45 degree angle or straight in. (I prefer a slight angle).
I hope this helps you.
Disclaimer: I'm not a health professional, I'm just telling you information that seems to have helped me. Please verifiy this info for yourself and use caution, knowing that (again) I am not a health professional.
Regarding the attached pictures:
People still seem to be a bit confused about the spot so I've added a picture of a diagram and naked butt with a red square around the injection area. Yes, it's a naked butt, but it clearly shows the gluteus medius injection area.
The red and purple portions in the picture below comprise the gluteus medius.
