Yes I have used it. Yes it works but its not a miracle like that site promotes it to be and its not that expensive as they claim either. Usually thats used to break down overuse or misplaced use of hyaluronic fillers. Thats its most common use.
To help swelling medically speaking youd have to tackle the cause and swelling is not necessarily bad thing. Just depends.
dont worry i wasnt being on the offense just explaining and i knew you were only voicing legitimate concerns. No problems.
Congrats on being a nurse!!!
But yes it really is that simple. And remember your training would have covered many many types of injections and different gauges and mediums etc. Not just a simple subcutaneous 30g insulin type injection.
eg if you were to administer an injection via IV you would first probably lower the blood supply via torniquet as example and tell the patient to pump the hand or simply squeeze it and you might even tap the area where their vein should be to cause temporary swelling to better outline the area. once you have found this area you might then clean it properly and sufficiently making sure everything is clean as your about to introduce an object directly into the blood stream. Then you might use eg a 25g needle and whatever syringe you need and insert initially at an angle of around 20degrees or so and once its in immediately lowering the angle to near 0 to follow right into the vein rather than poke out the other side and cause bleeding. Then you might do a simple aspiration test to make sure youve got it right, inject and withdraw whilst applying an alcohol swab tightly to the area and then finally maybe applying a small bandaid or taped cotton etc. Not to mention that you can administer IV injects from many places eg hands, legs, neck, arms etc etc etc and not to mention you would have to know what your administering and how much of it you should and where etc etc etc
That requires a lot of know how and technique and I would not advise that to people who know nothing about it and im well trained and versed (hope you can see that from the detailed injection technique lol)
A simple subcutaneous injection into fat does not require any real technique and you will not cause any harm. Hence patients are allowed to self administer a huge range of drugs via that method themselves eg insulin, b12, hgh and more
Just like I wouldnt advise anybody to administer botox on themselves which I do because most people arent trained nor know how to do so and in what doses and where for what effect etc.
