In the hip absolutely 100% positive!
I prefer to use the hip. I guess it's your patient's preference unless the MD tells you different.
i dont know but i got some in my tooshie...lol
I would say anywhere there's enough "fat". Don't really think it makes a difference on the location to get results, because whereever it goes, it's going to be absorbed by the body
The "hip" area...right above your cheeks. The injection works best when going into the gluteal muscle. B-12 is an intramuscular (IM) injection, and this is a large muscle that usually gives the best results. : )
Generally the area you refer to as your hip or your glutteas medius. If your having a layperson do it be careful you can hit nerves or cause and abcess. Good luck and God Bless.
Butt, for least discomfort.
