ice on spot before cleaning it. gently poke with needle to confirm it’s numb. then send it in, stab fast but push the plunger slow. subcutaneous hurts less than intramuscular but you’ll need to stay on top of remembering where you injected last bc scarring/buildup forms more easily. u got this

Pinch the area as you inject like you see the nurse do when they give you your flu shot

Wait for the alcohol to dry before you stab, it will hurt less

Put injection days and varying injection spots into your calendar so you know when and where to inject
