Anyone ever have this before....When ever I inject into my left glute (1.5ml), a few days later it is really sore, swells and I have a red spot that grows larger from the top of my glute down the side of my leg. About 4-5 days later everything is fine. This only happens when I inject into my left glute my right glute is fine with the same substance.

i used to have more pain in one side than the other. I angle the needle in a little different then I have no problems. you could try a longer needle to. what length are you using

1 1/2 isnt too deep for glutes , maybe just stay away from glutes for awhile
