Testosterone absorption better in hip or thigh?

[cahemdue]

My Doctor is under the assumption that I'm not getting proper absorption of the testosterone when I inject into the thigh. So he has instructed me to begin injecting the shot in my hip. Has anybody else ever had a testosterone absorption problem?

How deep are u pinning? My local doc office and they were informed by some endos they needed to start using a longer needle so everyone switched to a 1.5-2" needle....

I use 22g 1 1/2 inch for my glute injections and I am more than fine. I have also had good results with 23g 1" needles in the same area.

I have always used 1" for glutes as small as 25ga without any issues. Same for quads (or "thighs" as you refer to them) and ventro glutes ("hip"). You will get better absorption in bigger muscle groups (glutes, quads, lats) than smaller (delts, biceps, etc) but I'm not so sure about the size or length having that much of an effect on absorption. Of course I'm not a Dr either so I can only speak from my experience

Hamstrings only now. Glutes shot a real pain in the ass. Quad shots! Hit a nerve. Shoulder shot. I had to lay down all day long on the other shoulder. Biceps shot? ER!!! Calf shots? Crutches.

Why not sub Q. Easy with a 27g needle.

For IM, all the medical research indicates that glutes, thighs/quads are the two best places to inject, especially larger volumes, but delts are also very good for smaller volumes. The larger the muscle, the longer the needle. It can range from a recommended 1.5-3 inches!! For a larger person, a 2+ inch needle is not uncommon.

As weight lifters, we tend to stay away from needles larger than 1.5 because they look scary. xD

Always try to use the smallest gauge needle possible to decrease scar tissue though. I use 23g because some oils I use are very thick. I like the high mg/ml stuff for less injections.

I pin 25 5/8 in the shoulder 23 1/ in the glutes same with thighs once ur injected in the muscle it's done never heard of one muscle obsorbing better than the other u can get a slight inflammation in the delts if ur pinning a lot of gear but a day or two it's gone does ur doc have evidence to back up his theory
