Should you wait 15 minutes after you remove the ice pack or can you inject it right away?

BTW what is the thinnest needle that can be used for IM?

 

Thank you,

I just wanted to share a little bit of wisdom for all of you out there doing B12 injections. I am a medical assistant who teaches patients everyday how to do self injections. BEST WAY TO MAKE IT ALMOST PAINLESS!!!!! No matter what size needle you use!!!!! USE AN ICE PACK 10-15 MINUTES BEFORE YOU GIVE YOURSELF THE INJECTION.  You wont hardly feel anything. I know this works!!


Good Luck to all of you!!
