I want to start using the Z-track method when injecting

Do you all use the Z-track method when injecting. I followed a link on the forum for the Z-track injection method. I have never tried but it looks like it is a great technique. My skin has some oil around the injection site after injecting so I know I am losing some of the gear. I use the proper size needles in each bodypart and I let the needle sit inside the muscle at least 10 seconds after injecting. I want to stop the gear from oozing out after injecting.

When uve pulled the needle out....immediatly pull the skin to one side.....this is basically z track but opposite....instead of pulling before Ijecting you pull AFTER injecting. It works for me EVERYTIME. I never loose any oil. I pull it halfway out, let it sit, then pull completely out and pull that skin over as much as possible and stick an alcohol wipe on it and hold it for awhile. Works for me
Z track is good but still same leakage. If your tech is good you will be good to go. Just press really slow and when you pull out make sure you pull out safely and slow and u will hardly have a drop of blood.
remember if you push a little oil out on the needle that when you inject it can look like it has pooled around the site from where it came off the needle.
cdaddy7Honestly, from the medical stand point Z track method is most appropriate and effective with ppl with lots of adipose tissue in the injection site area...I have personally tried it but find I leak a little just the same as if i use the other way....remember that when u push the plunged thru to the end that there is still oil between the bottom and inside the needle unless u put a small amount of air to clear it...I find this to be just as irritating to the tissue and it bleeds more....now there will always be a little ooze post injection but It's not enough to significantly make a difference in ur therapeutic levels....just collateral loss....u will still have the bulk of the oil in the muscle to disperse in bloodstream brother
great information. I appreciate your advice and information.
cdaddy7Anytime brother...hit me up if u need anything
