I'm going too start taking needles now because everything else doesn't work. I'm on blood thinner and will quit for a week too stop I hope any bleeding problems.

JohnBoy --- best bet might be to use thinnest (small gauge #30 or 31) needle. Makes smallest hole, low possibility of bleeding. Just watch out for any visible veins. I place a small bright LED flashlight to shine on injection spot. Helps to visualize the veins. Haven't hit one since I started doing that. If you need the blood thinner for other reasons, you may not need to stop it. As long as you don't stick a vein, and you're using a thin needle, any bleeding should stop pretty quick, especially if you put pressure on it for a minute or two.

Thanks for the help. Blood thinner is for past blood clots to the lungs.

John: I wouldn't guess at this stuff, you should ask your doctor.

John...
I am on Xarelto blood thinners and I have never bled injecting trimix. I use the finest 31 guage 5/16 inch long needle.
I have never hesitated injecting nor changing my dosage of Xarelto.
Hope this helps

If you are using a 31 ga needle, the potential for bleeding is minimum. I would be more worried about stopping the blood thinner for your lung blood clots issue. Even if you get some minor bleeding from the injection, pressure on it for a minute or so should alleviate it.

Thanks for all the help.
Been told my needle will be just like my insulin needles. Real thin. Is there any place on the penis that it doesn't have veins? Mine is kind of small in size.
