Painless?

[spooon]

So i have given myself a handful of Invicorp injections. I know very few people have heard of it but that's not the point of this thread. I've read a lot that the injection is painless. Is it really though? I wouldn't say it was completely painless. It's a bit like an injection at the dentist. There is an element of physical and mental discomfort as you insert the needle. I know however much i might tolerate it i would rather not. Anyone else agree?

True, "I would rather not" but the pain or discomfort isn't enough to be an issue. It doesn't register on my concern meter.

i think i'm still approaching it with the mindset i might f**k it up. that sense of needing to be careful isn't nice

on a different note, does anyone take pills at same time? they don't work very well for me but i'm looking for a way to get some stiffness before i get home. don't know about others but having an erection actually increases my libido. perhaps it's a confidence thing

I started with manual injections and it was painful to me. I dreaded every injection. Autoject is 99% painless and 100% predictable for me. I would never go back to manual.
All the best.

I've been injecting Trimix for over 7 years and have never had pain during or after the injection. There is sometimes a little sting as the tip of the needle punctures the skin, but that "prick-stick-prick is not even as bad as a mosquito bite. For reference, I also did twice daily injections of an insulin regulator for almost 10 years with little or no discomfort--just a tiny sting. I have switched to a weekly autoinject for the same purpose and that sting is a bit more intense, althought "intense" is way too strong a word.

Putting everything in perspective:

Limp dick or Hard cock?
Injections or surgery that involves cutting into my penis and scrotum with a sharp knife?

Easy decisions for me. IJS

All the best.

I've had some that hurt, and some were painless.
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but when I inject with a bit of morning wood, or after getting a little plump from Viagra, It usually is completely painless.

On the other hand, sometimes when injecting T into my butt, it hurts like hell, but other times it's ALMOST painless.

Tomas - you use viagra with injections? Isn't that against advice? I ask coz i'd like to do the same or rather back to back if it's not going to do any harm

I'm not a medical professional and nothing I post should be considered medical advice.

Using Viagra with injections is clearly advised against in everything I've read. I believe the fear is of increased risk of priapism. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise I'd recommend you not do it.

That said, I do it. When my new Uro asked me why I did it I explained to him that it allowed me to use less of the injection meds. His only response was a kind of weak OK. There probably is a serious increased risk of priapism with using both. However, with me viagra really doesn't do much of anything on it's own. It makes therapy with a VED easier. It seems to allow my blood to flow in easier when pumped but by itself doesn't do anything on it's own regardless of stimulation other than a slight thickening sometimes. I'm convinced it makes my injections more effective. If I wasn't able to get generic viagra so cheaply through Canada it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Again, all medical literature I've read says don't do it, so don't!!!

I could not agree more on this one. Autoject=no pain!
