Okay here's the deal. Shots in the butt DO hurt more because

1. It takes a longer thicker needle to reach the muscle
2. It's usually used for medicine that is either a mixture
or just plain thick.
3. Usually larger amounts of medicine are injected in the
butt as opposed to the arm.

I do not agree that Tetanus shots hurt more in the arm. I had a few Tetanus shots in the arm and didn't feel a thing. While it takes a longer needle to reach the muscle in the butt, the solution is the same.

Cheers.
Tim

Author: Chris [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Wednesday, March 20, 2019, 11:47: pm I always take my B12 in my butt; usually my wife gives it dorsogluteal, if she's busy I do myself ventrogluteal. We use a 25 gauge 1 1/2 inch needle for a 2cc dose and it NEVER hurts at all. Been doing this the past 40 years. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
