Subject: Re: Asked where you want it Author: Tori [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Monday, August 24, 2015, 10:43: am In reply to: Nick 's message, "Asked where you want it" on Sunday, August 23, 2015, 05:28: pm I went to an express clinic for my DTAP. The nurse took me to the back and lying on the county was a small syringe. He closed the door and asked me if I wanted the shot in my arm or butt. Of course I said my arm. He said okay. You know this makes your arm sore for 3-4 days or if you get it in your butt within an hour you will not even know you got a shot. He told me as you walk you work it into your muscle. I said ok give it to me in my butt. I unzipped my blue shorts and pulled them down. He pulled down my blue lacey panties baring my entire bottom. He pinched my right cheek and plunged the needle into my hip and injected. It was completely painless. I was surprised. He rubbed my cheek a few times and pulled up my panties and shorts.

The closest similar experience was not for a shot, but rather for a temperature taking which I was given the option, orally or rectally. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Obese women tend to want it in their butt for some reason. SOme of them are so large even the longest needle wont hit muscle. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Asked where you want it Author: Richard [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thursday, August 27, 2015, 05:21: pm There's a good video on you tube concerning a study of needles of length that might be more effective if they are longer and can get to the intended area the medication needs to go. I think it was started because a number of women requiring injections in their buttocks, were not getting the medication needed because the needle was not going into the area it was supposed to reach. Many of these females actually had more fat in their buttocks leading to the situation where they did not receive the full benefit of the medicine injected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHc_K9Yf9Lc [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
