A member asked:
Just started self injections for b 12 deficiency. what is the purpose of pinching where you are going to inject? i forget to do it...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
B12 injections: Pinching is just a way to provide a counter stimulus to the skin to lessen the sting of the injection. It is not essential to do it.
