Subject: B12 injection Author: RAY [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Friday, January 21, 2011, 10:02: am This is a real question for any nurses out there. Is the arm or the buttocks the best site for B12 injection? Does the amount of the dose make a difference. It is inconvient for me to go to my doctor's office to get it. Who can legally administer it? Are B12 pills just as effective as an injection? Thanks in advance for your answers. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: B12 injection Author: Mandy Rn [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, January 21, 2011, 11:17: am You can inject either in the butt or the arm, most people prefer the butt because the usual dose is 1cc. Your doctor can instruct you on how to give your injection and he can write a script for the B12 and needles. B12 is more effective in the injection than pills. I take B12 shots twice a week and I can give myself the shot, I have my boyfriend give me the shot and I prefer the butt. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: B12 injection Author: Nurse [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, January 22, 2011, 02:44: pm I run a flu shot clinic and I almost always give the injection in the butt unless the patient just refuses. I alternate the butt cheek. I use a 3cc syringe with a 21g needle. I had this very petite young girl that came in for her first B12 injection. She watched as I drew up her injection. I told her to turn around and loosen her jeans. She said I am getting it in the butt. Unless you want this needle in your arm as I uncapped it. I told her it hurts less in the bottom due to larger muscle mass. She turned around and unfastened her jeans and wiggled them down to the bottom of her butt cheeks. I pushed down her panties to the bottom of her butt cheeks. I cleaned her hip and squeezed her right cheek and quickly inserted the needle. I then slowly injected her and pulled out the needle. She told me that was not bad. I told her I would see her next month. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The guy went first. he dropped his shorts and told me to jab the right cheek. The first girl came in and she was a knock out. She turned around raised up her dress and had nothing underneath. She leaned over placed her hands on her knees and watched as I drew up her shot. She told me to smack her left cheek twice before injecting. With my open hand I placed to quick swats to her white butt cheek which turned bright red after the second swat. Afterwards she stood up let her dress fall down and said I give a really good shot. The second girl came in and she was wearing a business suit with boots up to her knees. She took off her coat. She started to roll up her sleeve and I said no honey this is going in your rear. I told her it would hurt less. She said my arm did ache after my first injection. I unzipped her skirt and let it fall to her knees. I helped her slide down her hose to her thighs. I told her she could leave her thong on. I rubbed her butt with the alcohol swab. I squeezed her cheek and then stuck the 20g needle up to the hub. She tensed her little butt. I told her to relax and slowyl injected the medicine. She said it burned as I injected. Afterwards I massage her hip before placing a bandaid on the area. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I got a 3cc syringe with 20g needle and opened it and drew up the medication. She told me that is going to make my arm sore and I said no , but it might sting in your bottom. I said this has to go in a large muscle and your bottom is the best place. She said I have not had a shot in the rear since I was a little girl. I instructed her to come over and bend over the exam table. She unsnapped her jeans. I pushed them down to the bottom of her butt cheeks.She was wearing a [air of mint green satin panties. Her buttocks were firm and round. I went over and got a 22g 1 inch needle and told her to relax. I showed her it was a smaller needle. I wiped an area on her right hip, placed my hand on her butt and quickly inseted the needle up to the hub. She yelled out as the needle went in, I told her to relax and slowly injected the medication. After I pulled out the needle I used a cotton swab and gently massaged the site on her right hip. She stood up and pulled up her panties and jeans . She told me it was not as bad as she thought it would be. I told her I would see her next month and this time she would get it in her left cheek.

I use a 25 gauge 1 1/2 inch (light blue) and don't feel the stick at all, maybe just a bit of pressure from the 2cc, but it never burns. My wife gives a good shot, too. I started out almost 30 years ago using the 22g (black) needles, and they did hurt a bit; 25g never does. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

My patient yesterday works at a local Hyatt at the front desk. When I showed up and asked for her and toild her why I was there her eyes got really big. it turns out she is a college student working so her doctor ordered B12 while she was in school and this was her seond shot. I asked if there was a location where we go in private. She watched as I drew up her shot. She said the last one really hurt. She said it was an older nurse and she was not very nice. I told her it was going in her bottom and that it would help if would lay on the desk in the room we were in. She bent over the desk. I raised up her dress above her waist. I pulled down her hose. Her butt was pretty fully exposed as she had on a black thong. I wiped her left hip and then squeezed it a few times and quickly darted in the needle. She tensed up I injected and pulled out the needle. I told her I was done and she could not beleive it. She said that was a lot better. I told her I would come back next month. She said I would appreciate it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Our FNP gives out a lot of b12 injections during finals week for students who are staying up studying for finals. The first girl was a 21 year old brunette. I drew up her shot as she watched in a 20g 3cc syringe. I told her to go over and lie on her stomach on the exam table. I flipped up her skirt and she was wearing a tiny thong. I told her to point her toes inward to relax her muscle. She jumped as I hit her butt with the needle. She said ouch as I injected. I massaged her hip a few times and then flipped down her skirt. She got up rubbing her butt. it has been a along time since I had a shot in my butt. I told her if she needed another one next month to come back. The next girl I knew from my spinning class. She had a tight little butt that I always admired from sitting behind her on my bike. She also watched as I drew up the injection. I told her to unfasten her jeans and lie on her stomach. She said that is going in my butt. I said yes it is. She pushed down her jeans and then laid flat on the table. She had on a pair of red satin panties. I pulled them down. She had a tiny tan line line running across the top of her butt cheeks. I grabbed a handful of her tiny bottom and placed then needle deep in her butt and slowly injected. She started saying ouch ouch as I injected. I massaged her butt a few times and then placed a bandiad on her bottom. She said that shot hurt like hell. I told her yes it does. This morning at class she patted her butt and told me it still hurts. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: B12 injection Author: Catherine A. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, April 22, 2011, 02:41: pm I was critically injured in a cycling accident in 1984 at age 22 and, after being in the hospital for a month, spent nearly two months recovering at home. I was cared for by visiting nurses who gave me B12 shots twice a week. One of the nurses politely referred to the injection site as the "hip." The other nurse was less formal. "This goes in your butt," I remember her saying, standing next to my bed with the needle. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: B12 injection Author: Steve M. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, April 25, 2011, 06:14: pm Been doing my own B12 shots for over four years. Just one cc, so it can either in the arm or butt. I use either a 23GX1 for an arm shot or 22GX1.5 for a butt shot. Neither place hurts. even had to do daily shots for a while, then weekly, now monthly. A properly given B12 shot should not hurt. In the US, B12 shots are prescription-only. Canada does not require a prescription either for the medication or the equipment. Also have done B-Complex shots...2 to 2-1/2 cc's. These always go in the butt. Also don't hurt if given properly.

[> [> Subject: Re: B12 injection Author: pat [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tuesday, April 26, 2011, 01:38: pm How do you (we)know is we nead a B-12 shots? What is it fore? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: B12 injection Author: Steve M. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Wednesday, April 27, 2011, 08:54: am B12 is one of the B vitamins. It is crucial for nerve function. Unfortunately our diets don't provide a good supply, and as we get older, it is poorly absorbed through the digestive tract(gut). It is often prescribed for people who have had some kind of nerve or brain injury...stroke, TIA or accident. Mine was prescribed when I suffered nerve damage to my right eye a few years ago. The only dependable way to get enough B12 for some of us is by injection. It bypasses the gut and goes directly into the bloodstream where it is needed. If your doctor thinks you need it, he/she will prescribe it. If I took a B12 pill every day with the same dosage as my monthly shot, I would only get about one tenth total of what I get with one shot, so I take the shot. Hope this answers your questions.

I told her yes. I pulled down her jeans to the bottom of her butt cheeks. I pulled down her black panties. She tensed as soon as I touched her bottom with the alcohol wipe. I said on the count of three. I placed my hand on her firm butt and as i said one a sank the needle in her bottom. She jumped and said you said on three. I pulled out the needle and massaged her butt and placed a bandaid on the site. She pulled up her panties and got up fastened her jeans. She said that was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

He knew I had given myself subQ injections before so I told him I had plenty of needles left. No instructions as to how much, just a calendar schedule every day for a week, then 3x a week, then maintenance for the year. my syringes are 1.cc divided into tenths along the length, size 1/2 " 12.mm. I have no idea what the dose should be, although I've been reading on several sites, it isn't clear, as some folks go for the big one dose shot and thats not what is happening here. THEN if that weren't enough, several sites say subQ but intramuscle is better. do you have time to email me your experience?aksafetycerts@alaska.net thanks [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Rhonda went first. I drew up her injection and she turned around. She had on a red dress with knee high boots. She leaned over the table and I pulled up her dress above her waist. I was surprised to see see was not wearing any underwear. Smack my butt once before you jab me. I took my time rubbing her left bun with the alcohol. I then slapped her white butt once and then quickly inserted the needle deep in her butt and injected. When I pulled out the needle her butt was still bright red. I massaged her butt muscle she let her dress fall down. I will be back next month for another one. Leslie your turn. Leslie had on a pair of boot and skin tight jeans. She unfastend them and pushed them down. She had on a flowery pair of panties which I pulled down to her knees. She was standing straight up and her butt cheeks were firm with a little dimple in each cheek. I wiped a spot and asked if she wanted a swat on the bare rump before I stuck her. She said know. I grabbed a handful of her right butt cheek and placed the needle in her butt which made her jump and my little finger slipped right into her rectum which i left there as I injected. She stood up rubbing her cheek and half turned around pulling up her panties, said that felt good. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

They are taken monthly...one cc, either with a 25GX1" needle or a 22GX1-1/2 needle, depending on whether I am in the mood to stick my arm or stick my butt. Either way, I barely feel it. I also take weekly Iron and Testosterone shots...Iron is 2.5 cc's and Testosterone is 1 cc. The Iron shot requires a 20GX1" needle, since it is quite thick. Testosterone is injected with a 22GX1-1/2" needle. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

These posts will SURELY be investigated at you mentioned the school in which you supposedly work. Good luck keeping your job perv, your gonna need it. BTW-For those of us who are on here legitimately; I find that the best site for B-12 injection really depends upon my patients preference.

B-12 doesn't hurt regardless of where it is injected, and it certainly doesn't require anything larger than a 22 gauge needle.
