B12 injections are given IM (in the muscle) . . . typically a 3cc, 23 or 25 guage x 1" needle would be used . . . Do not use an insulin syringe (too small) you may not be getting all the benefits of your treatment doing it this way.

Why do b12 injections hurt and where do you have it?

B12 injections can cause discomfort due to the needle's penetration into the muscle tissue, which may trigger a brief pain response. Additionally, the viscosity of the B12 solution can contribute to a feeling of pressure during the injection. Typically, B12 injections are administered intramuscularly in areas such as the deltoid muscle of the arm or the gluteal muscle in the buttocks.

Is it ok to take B12 tablets?

Very few people are ever deficient in B12. a vitamin that occurs in meat, milk and other dairy product (such as eggs). Unless you are on a vegan diet, there should be no reason for you to be deficient in B12, and taking a B12 supplement will probably not prove beneficial. Consult your GP/family doctor before starting a B12 supplement. (Added note) People suffering from Chronic Anaemia cannot absorb vitamin B12 from their food, and B12 tablets are of no use. They need to have a B12 injection every 3 months.
