Same. Like i put my brain on task mode and think ofbmy shot as just a simple task that needs to be done. It does help for me a lot. Also get a nice red bump that seems to set under the skin for a few days. Sometimes it takes a week or so before it goes away. I’ve just made the assumption this is just what happens with shots.
Subcutaneous or intramuscular?
Mines supposed to be subcutaneous but I’ve definitely gone too deep a few times. Those tend to really hurt for an hour or so when i go a little too deep.
Edit to add: I now pull the skin up and “pinch” a good bit to stick. That has helped with keeping the skin tight and helps with the correct depth. Not sure if that’s the proper way.
Yeah you do get bumps with subcutaneous, if you mind them, then you could try intramuscular - if you get the right point in the outer thigh it isn’t supposed to hurt
