Yes: But it's also normal for shots to be painless - it all depends upon recipient of injection. There are several areas where testosterone (or anything else for that matter) can be injected as well as areas where nothing should be injected so consider changing injection sites. Check out http://goo.Gl/hecqb3 & http://goo.Gl/iixg9i for directions. Consider icing down area (to numb it) prior to injection.

Prescribed 1.62% testosterone gel. The instructions in the package & online say to use on shoulder/upper arms only yet the doctor stated on rx to apply to inner thigh once daily. Is this ok vs shoulders - will it work equally well? How about forearms?
