Intramuscular injection a leave behind the injected solution in the muscle. The goal is to diffuse the solution into the blood slowly using the tiny blood vessels that weave through the muscle fibers. The pain comes from the fact that you’ve filled that space with extra fluid so there’s a bit of pressure. In order to relieve the pressure that fluid need to enter the blood.
