Lisa, I never tried the tigh muscle before. But in my case, when I did the injections what I did was the following: first and very important, lay down so the muscle is relaxed, with the foot pointing inwards (that helps relax the butt muscle even more). The needle should go very fast through the skin, but the oil itself you have to pour it very very slowly, to give it time to spread in the tissue, otherwise it hurts. When you are done, put a warm cloth and then keep a heating pad for about 10-15mins, that helps spread the oil even more so you don't have that bulk there that hurts.
Hope this helps!!!!......and of course, switch places!!

Vicky....Thank you sooooooooooo much for that advise. My progesterone shot sites are absolutley killing me. I'm reaching camel status with these humps! I can't even lean back in a chair they hurts so much. I will lay down tonight when getting the shot from dh and use the warm compress followed by a heating pad. Bless you!

Hi Vicky,

I just wanted to let you know that the shots are soooooooooo much better. Laying down certainly helps relax the muscle and I love the heating pad. No new humps, just waiting for the old ones to go away.

Thanks again!
