Anybody ever IM oils in the calf? It is a thing that is sometimes done I've heard, mostly if a patient is so needle adverse they have to lay on their stomachs eyes shielded and glutes are inaccessible, infected, recently used for too many injections etc, at least that's what the nurse friend I asked said and is vaguely corroborated by a textbook I consulted.
I'm thinking about trying. Right now everything kills w/ PIP except deltoids and both of mine are tattooed with fine detail so I worry about too much scar tissue.
Going to use a 1/2 inch insulin syringe, and should for right in the meat of the gastroc, well above where it and the soleus drop into the achilles. I can't imagine putting a needle straight into the achilles tendon would feel great.
