I'm right-handed.
Is there a way to inject the left side without standing on my head? - Mike

I’ve found that using a VED to plump works best. I use the pump to plump it up slightly use the ring to keep it plump. That way it gives you more area to work with. You can still use the right hand, you just have to be a little more dexterous. I’ve gotten to the point where I use the left hand better now. It makes injecting a lot easier for me especially on the left side when you’re trying to shoot around that big vein.

I am right handed also, and no, it is not easy injecting the left side.
The more you do it the better it will be for you, just practice and
practice, it's not all that bad. You just gotta do it. You can slide the
needle into the right depth with your left hand, slide your right hand
over to hold the syringe, then push the plunger with your left hand.
It's awkward but you will get it......good luck to you, it's very much
worth the effort :)

I'm actually dexterous, but my right is more dominant. While I was using injections trying to do a left side injection was tough. I used an autoinjector but hitting the right spot on my left side was near impossible. I also have a large vein on my left side that tended to move right in the way. Most of the time I just used the right side. That ended up leaving a bruise that took forever to go away.

I'm very right hand dominant also. It's just a matter of practice. After hundreds of shots I have no trouble doing the left side now.
