Girls, Why should one lie face down when an injection is given in the hip? Isn't it possible to do it standing?

Why should one lie face down when an injection is given in the hip? Isn't it possible to do it standing?

I’m sure it is possible, but it may be more comfortable laying down.

For example, what is the advantage of lying down?

Comfort…

So, is there a difference between standing and lying down for the butt cheeks?

[petitedollbabee]

For the third time… comfort! Laying down may be more comfortable compared to standing. Standing uses the muscles in your hips, and being injected into those muscles can be very tender. Laying down stops using those muscles and relaxes them. Making it potentially more comfortable depending on the individual.

Is it normal for the butt cheeks to tighten during the injection?
