I work in a large immediate care practice, and the physicians order a lot of IM Rocephin. The dosage is usually 1 gram diluted to about 3.5ml and given in one hip. Even using 1% lido, the injections are very painful, especially for adolescents. I have heard that using a longer 2 inch needle may help reduce pain because it is a deeper injection in the hip. Does anyone have experience with that? Thanks
