I never RUB the area...just immediate slight pressure with an alcohol pad has always worked for me when going IM.
Anyways, *knock on wood*

ALWAYS RUB WITH ALCHOLOL, ALWAYS!
Next , ALWAYS use a new and clean syringe!
I can not stress how important this is, A bad injection can easily turn into an infected abscess, leading to staff and MRSA into your blood stream.. Very Deadly..
Please be safe and follow instructions guys
And always go high up on the hip, as its a much less chance for an abscess or growth.. You dont want a lump sitting dead in the middle of your glute muscle.. Aim high
