I've had some done at the base of my neck in the muscles, also right in the middle of my biceps to stop spasms. They worked well for me, stopped the pain in a few days.

I got a big hematoma in the biceps from the shot that took months to resolve, left a brown stain in my skin for half a year. Taking vitamin D helped get rid of the stain (iron deposit in the skin).
