Maybe you can use the anchoring grip on your hand when injecting.
It used to work for the older golfers.
What I meant was maybe resting the heel of your hand on your leg to steady it.
I had to get a golf metaphor in somehow lol.


I would ask my wife of 53 yrs to do it but she doesn't like blood. I may just do an implant anyway.

I don't think my wife could do it either.
Maybe if she was mad at me lol.
Good luck with whatever route you take.

Hi
My injector has a sleeve where it contacts penis. You can adjust the depth.
My Dr set it up for me. He had me practice with filling needle with saline and then injecting a tomatoe for a few days.
Think dr should have set it up for you.
Thank you
Good luck
Thinking of getting implant. Have not done it because of the length I
have lost.

I found this from an old post. My last injection was without an injector and was a big hassle because I have a very bad tremor. I am going to try 6gauge technique by setting the depth to 5/16". I am using 1/2" 28ga needles.

Guys, if you try this model It takes fixed needle syringes and is adjustable for depth plus it depresses the plunger for you as well and like others have said you reall. y don't feel a thing. My doc started me on this with my test injection, he had me adjust the depth to 5/16" using 1/2" 28ga. needles it hasn't failed me yet! Added bonus if you've had a few drinks it sure makes it a lot easier.

My tremor makes it a major hassle to not use an autoinjector (mine is a not the Inject Ease). This week I used the 5/16 " setting with a 1/2 " needle on my Autoject EI. It has long indicator that pokes out of the top when loaded. This plunger/indicator rod is sturdy enough to push the needle in if it fails to fully penetrate with the normal force. More then once I have had the needle only partially penetrate and lose much of the dose when I quickly removed the injector and didn't pay attention to the process. It usually is very quick. One time when I pulled it out most of the dose squirted out.

This week, with a 60 unit dose, the needle didn't penetrate 100% again, but I paid attention and manually pushed the plunger rod all the way in. The result were the best I have had but I needed to use a pump to maintain penetration. Next try will be 70 units. I am on Trimix (30-2-20).

Autoject EI via Amazon. I bought mine from the same vendor.

I also have the Autoject 2 without the penetration indicator.
