@Uncivilization: One can go slow if one prefers, but many patients struggle most with piercing the surface of the skin -- this is where the major nociceptive potential resides. Going slow or fast is more a matter of preference. :)
I am not currently taking IM meds (only IV now & I have a central line so no needles need apply! Yay!), but yes, I've used the " Z" site rotation method before. I made this video for a friend who was just starting IM injections & asked for some technique advice & reassurance. Be well! Xoxox

Wouldn't stab, go slow. If you stab and hit a nerve you'll know about it at least slow you haves chance to react
