Where and how often do you give yourself B-12 shots?

I just got my prescription filled today for B-12 shots. My PCP gave it to me since my surgeon refused. (Another story.) She had a nurse show me and my husband how to do the injections. The nurse said to do 1000 ml in the arm. I would like to know how others of you who give yourself injections do yours. How much? How often and where? Someone else told me the best place is in the butt, as it absorbs better. I am afraid of my husband giving me a shot in the hip (met someone once who got an intramuscular shot in the wrong place and had nerve damage) so I am curious about the butt...literally lower on a cheek? Anyone do thighs? Thanks!
