Subject: B12 shots
Author: "Stan" (B12 comfort)	[ Next Thread \| Previous Thread \| Next Message \| Previous Message ] Date Posted: Thursday, April 21, 2016, 02:54: pm B12 shots are best taken I.M. In the hip. Less pain & less soreness especially if you're getting them regularly. I'm sure nurses give these everyday. [ Next Thread \| Previous Thread \| Next Message \| Previous Message ]

Author: Mandy [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Saturday, April 23, 2016, 08:08: pm Yes; always get my iron shots in my butt. They do sting and my butt is sore for a day or two. Shots don't bother me as I have a high tolerance for pain. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Bill (painless) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sunday, April 24, 2016, 12:01: am I get a B12 shot once every week and when I first heard about the horror stories of the stinging and the pain I was beginning to second think my decision. When I received my first B12 shot I never felt the needle stick and never had any discomfort or pain associated with the shot. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Chris [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Saturday, June 25, 2016, 01:38: am A 2 ml dose of cyanocobalamin once a week really helps my tinnitus. 25 gauge 1.5 inch, my wife gives a really good shot. Totally painless. Also an extra dose is useful for bursitis and gout. And for us mid-sixties vegans, frequent B12 shots are good, cheap, painless insurance. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Rich [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 11:43: am I've often heard B-12 shots were in the hip/butt. I got mine the other day-upper arm, and for the price, I went to a pharmacy and bought a bottle of B-12 tablets. No pain in arm, hip or butt, and an awful lot less expensive.

Author: sports fan [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Friday, April 10, 2020, 08:23: pm I disagree. B-12 shots from what I have read on here are given with a 22 gauge needle in your butt, and that hurts! So it's best to take a Vitamin B-12 supplement tablet instead. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
