Ultra Fine Injection Needles - for self injections are a dream!

Just make sure that the needle is not finer than specified by the drug company. If the liquid is too thick for the needle, you may not be receiving any medication.

@loriesco, hi. i use the same pen needle for ALL of my insulin injections. being for subcutaneous. just under the skin. i'm happy you like it. if it keeps working then don't change it. but if you find it difficult to do. you can get a 4mm ultra fine but with a 28 or 26 gauge needle. which will work with a thicker medication. if need be. i read you inject into your leg. but are you able to inject into the buttocks or stomach? i do the back of the arms, buttocks, thighs and stomach. you just keep rotating the spots. one other thing i hope you have a steady hand for this. if you have tremors in both hands it can be difficult. i do. and it takes both hands to do the injections. either way, good luck. Daniel 💙💙

thanks Daniel! The 26/28 you mentioned would be bigger than the 32 I am now using. The one I had the 28 and it was bigger. I had cervical spine surgery last year and it is hard to move my head downward to inject in my tummy. I might try again since acquiring this nano ultra fine pen. Another issue was the medicine seemed to make my tummy expand. A lot of the gals injecting the Tymlos seemed to feel similarly. I have a very steady hand. I just can't move my head to see my backside or the back of my arms. but so far so good with the legs! thank you, Lori 💐🙏🏼🥰

sorry to hear about the surgery. will you ever be able to tip your head down a little, later on? i know nothing about this Tymlos. why does it make your stomach expand? i have a few surgical scars on my stomach that i can't see that well. so i go into the bathroom and use the mirror and find them. then i can inject my insulin. try that for your stomach and arms. danny

That’s a great idea Danny to use the mirror! I never thought of that. It is documented that men get a distended waistline from the Tymlos medicine. I have joked that they probably wouldn’t tell the women because no one would use the medicine! I don’t know why it only is a consequence for men. Did only men notice? Did it only happen to men? But in this forum, many women complained about it. When I stopped injecting in my tummy, my waistline went back to normal after a couple weeks as far as being able to look down or up after cervical surgery I am working on that now in rehabilitation they seem to think that my brain is inhibiting the motion and, I can get more mobility with some additional rehab. I had an amazing surgery when they opened me up from this front side, but they didn’t know that my bones were soft. So when I went in for my first postop visit, they could see the screws moved so they immediately pulled me back into surgery to go in from the backside and stabilize me. This required putting bigger hardware and a rod in my back. The front side surgery was amazing. I had mobility like I haven’t had in 60 years. When they had to go in from the backside, I lost all the mobility, but it wasn’t much different from where I was before the surgery . Except the up-and-down movement of my head is now limited. Hey, you win some and you lose some right? There have been many gains because of the cervical surgery, but some of my problem is myofascial and my muscular so those problems still exist, and we’re never going to be resolved by the surgery , I’m always optimistic so I’m grateful to have been able to do the surgery and move on to the next surgery. I’ll probably have. I had a phenomenal surgery on my lumbar, but the area around it is collapsing, so that will probably be the next thing. I’m getting to be a pro at this!😝🙏🏼🥰
