I'm a RN and insulin syringes are not the best way to give a B12 injection. First, the needle is so short it will not hit a bone. Insulin syringes with such a short needle can cause bruising. A 1" IM needle is better because it doesn't cause bleeding. Draw the B12 up with a larger gauge needle like a 28 or lower. 28 is best because it doesn't leave a large hole in the rubber. Then remove the needle and replace it with a 30 gauge. The larger the number of the needle gauge the thinner it is and slides into the skin. I don't know if you have nurses as patients but it would be better if you had checked with them first. Have a great day!

I know this is ab old video, but im having to take B12. I opted to inject myself as otherwise I would have to drive 45min to my Dr. I have longer needles, and I tried in my arm, like this, but had alot of vleeding afterwards. Obv, I did not do it correctly. I started injecting into my thigh. I found it much easier, but I still get nervous that im not doing it right. 😅

I was given a 18 gauge 1 1/2” needle. Is that ok?

Thank you doctor. I'll be trying it today.😍

In the uk we use a much longer needle to go into the muscle ie 1.25 minumum

Can I buy B12 shot without prescription?

I did my first one today. They didn’t give me a needle so I used an insulin syringe. I was told to put it in my hamstring. My Skin it very thin I hope it got it in the muscle.

lol I injected my wife her friend and myself today with b12 I did it in the butt cheek only because it’s a bigger muscle I make sure to have a very sterile environment wash my hands with alcohol and use alcohol wipes to clean the area before and after the injection

Thank you. Most self injection videos are bodybuilders with huge deltoids. Seeing a woman with similar build to mine is super helpful. Done and it was easy

How much magnesium should I take?

I was given prescription Cyanocobalamin. I thought it had to be in thicker & longer needle into muscle per internet search but no info from doctor or pharmacist . Is the smaller insulin needle ok to use? In fat? I used to take insulin for t1d pre kidney pancreas transplant. Is there concentration level on vial or any way to find out. I've had script filled 3 wks ago & still hesitant to take before knowing. Thanks in advance for any information!

@dr

Hello when you used insulin syringe what is the correct amount you used?

I have been giving myself B12 injections for some time now but today I guess I got in the wrong spot of something because I ended up with a red blotchy lump on my thigh under my skin. Has never happened before. Do you know what would have caused this?

Is methlfolate better or folionic acid better for speech?

Hi can it be injected into the stomach please? I thought you needed a long needle to reach the muscle, thank you

Is it normal to have a lump after injection ?

Where do you find pre-filled needles with higher concentration of B12 like the one you used?

Can you use a small needle like that ? I was told not to and the ones they gave me are quite long and thicker. Can anyone advise?

Hi Dr can i do it under the belly stomach?

Ma’am what size needle was you using ? Thank you

thank you Dr. God bless you

Thank you, wha other sides do you recommend to do?

The methycolabamin /b12 im getting from compound rx is a powder that is mixed with srile water. Is this common way of doing it?

You hardly had any B12 in the needle. It was like 20 or 30 units. I have to take 100 units - 1 ml shot. I have a 10 ml bottle of b12 which has 10 shots in it.
