Bad post pinning pain ... Thoughts / help?

[Antonio123]

Ok..

So for those of you who saw my post yesterday i went through with the injection, and for those of you who didnt basically i have injected 250mg of test e (1ml) last night. It is my first cycle and i was quite worried about injecting myself.

I decided to inject into my quads, used a 23g 1 1/4" needle. I followed all the instructions, i warmed the test in the needle, used an anti bacterial swab to wipe the vial and my pinning site and slowly pushed my needle all the way into my quad. It didnt hurt, nor did i feel any discomfort for the first 1inch and then after that it felt a bit uncomfortable, i pulled back a small amount (so 1 and 1/8 of the needle was in my quad), then aspirated, no blood came out and then and slowly injected.

As soon as i finished my leg was quite sore, i massaged for around 2-5 minutes and then went to bed.

I woke up this morning with a really sore quad, worst dead leg ive had in a while and it seems to have spread a little down my quad to from where the injection site was.

I decided to take a walk to the gym to see if that would help, but the pain just seems to be worse and im struggling to walk normally on that leg.

My main worries are:

1) Did i inject too deeply into my quad and if so what do i do?!

2) Is this normal and different people react in different ways

3) is there anything else i can do to prevent post injection pain?

4) What should i do now, wait a few days see if the pain dies down and if not consult a doctor?

Not a great expererience for a first shoot!

Thanks in advance

Sounds like virgin muscle shot to me. Give it some time.

Virgin muscle sounds right.

I think 1" needles would be better.

Did you warm the test in the vial or in the needle ??? I hope it was in the vial.

I had some that didnt hurt and some that hit me 2 days later. It was virgin muscle too.

I sit in a chair and put the leg Im pinning up on another chair also, this way my muscle is relaxed.

You can take a hot bath prior to relax the muscle even more.

Just remember the basics,wash hands, Clean the top of the vial, clean injection site, dont touch needle to anything but injection site.

I even clean off the table Im laying everything on with rubbing alcohol, I use that to wash my hands too.

If pain is bad take 4 motrin. I do my injections before bed so by the time I wake up most the pain is gone.

Possible to fast in a virgin muscle, take time pushing at first

Sounds like every thing else good though,

Relax bro.
i have had injections that were the worst.
then sometimes i inject the same stuff into the same place then theres no pain at all.
try injecting into the glutes , its usually the best for me.

Cheers guys I feel a little more at ease now! Always a bit apprehensive when you try something new and something like this I guess!

You will be fine!

Same thing happened to me first time bro. The muscle isn't use to all that oil being there so it can get a little tender the first time. It will ease with time.

Same happened to me. Hurt like a bitch & I'm no puss.
