Is It Safe To Inject Testosterone Into Shoulders?

What are the risks involved with injecting testosterone into shoulders? I always pull back to make sure no veins are hit and make sure all air is out of syringe before proceeding and only 1.5ml max but am nervous every time I do, is there reason for concern?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, your idea does not create any sense because you have not mentioned for what you have taken the steroid in to shoulder region, if you mean to say that it is being injected in deltoid region then it may not cause any risk (If all the aseptic precaution taken into hand proper technic applied) hope this information helps, take care.
