The ideal injection site for testosterone in the arm is located on the outer side of your upper arm, specifically within a triangle-shaped area.
Finding the Injection Site
Here's how to pinpoint the correct location, based on the reference:
- Locate the Top Bone: Find the bone at the top of your upper arm.
- Measure Down: Move your hand about 3 to 4 inches down the outer side of your upper arm. This marks the bottom point of the imaginary triangle, roughly at the level of your armpit.
- Identify the Center: The injection site is in the center of this triangle, which is about 1 to 2 inches below the bone at the top of your upper arm.
Key Considerations
- Avoid Bony Areas: Ensure you are not injecting directly into the bone.
- Rotate Injection Sites: If you are giving yourself multiple injections, rotate the sites to avoid tissue damage.
