FWIW I'm assuming the needles belonged to MS, and at some point he was injecting testosterone and/or HGH. MS doesn't look that in shape but IIRC there's a Wink news video where he's walking out of the garage and his calf muscles look well defined. Maybe a test/HGH effect?
In the alternative, I'm certainly no expert but from what I've read it is common for women complaining of low energy, low sex drive to use testosterone therapy in the form of intramuscular injections. I think if TS was undergoing this kind of therapy, she might choose injections that are longer acting and more controllable than the implant. Hopefully someone corrects me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can as readily change the dose in an implant whereas injections are more 'temporary' and TS wouldn't have any problems injecting like some other women who use the pellet may experience. MOO.

I've been in women's health for forever. Pellets are a decent source of revenue for docs but not generally preferred because if the dose is too high for example the patient has to live with it for 3 months. A patient can end up spending a couple grand on pellets/year out of pocket so docs usually push them for their own benefit IMO.
You tend to see a gel or cream as the typical delivery vehicle for testosterone therapy in women, in my experience. Again, the testosterone injections are more of a money maker. The average doctor and most thought leaders would lean towards a gel or cream because women really don't need a lot and it's easier to control and adjust the dosage this way.
Pellets and testosterone injections tend to give women a "high" and so some women prefer them but are not necessarily the norm.
Most docs I know tend to treat themselves at the office vs. at home. Which leads me to believe the syringes belonged to MS.
