I keep injecting into the wrong spot. Usually how I know is it feels harder to push the plunger down on the syringe. And I bleed a little upon removal. How I find the spot is I feel different spots on my leg to see if it flexs, I find the spot and mark it. Disinfect it and inject. Usually turns out fine but these past two times I’ve been bleeding and harder to press down the syringe (as stated) and I don’t know what to do.

    While sitting and I see the position like on the toilet if you’re doing this in the bathroom or whatever, while looking down visually divide what you can see of your upper leg into thirds in both the vertical and horizontal directions like a tic-tac-toe board.

    If it is your right leg then we’re going on the right side left leg then the left side but both of them will be in that middle outer Square of the tic-tac-toe board. 90° angle to the skin and unflex which is why you should do it in a seated position if possible.
