First pin to thigh

[stevenmd]

So after 4 weeks of pinning my glutes I developed some hard masses at the injection sites with some redness. I drew a line with a Sharpie around the redness and it didn't grow outside the line and has actually decreased so that has alleviated any fears of an bad infection that requires a visit to the Dr.

So this morning I pinned my thighs to give my ass a break. Right thigh - didn't even feel it go in, aspirated and was good to go. Left thigh didn't go so well. I tried to pin in the same spot as I did my right but hit a vein. It's not that it hurt - because it did - I felt an electrical shock down my leg. Tried a second time, drew up blood when I aspirated, third time was good to go.

Funny how I didn't even feel the needle in my right thigh but I sure felt it in my left!

Definitely going to do the right thigh again in the future. My left... we'll see how my left ass cheek feels first.

I would think an MD could handle an IM injection! Ha jk bro. Shit happens

 

[dfeaton]

What & how much are you injecting?

 

[stevenmd]

600mg test e
400mg deca

Hey man, I have the problem a lot too.. my Right quad is always G2G, but I've experience the "electrical shock" you speak of in my left leg a couple times. It's a little unnerving, but you just gotta find the right spot.

I'm not very experienced but isn't 1000 mg a hell of a lot for one shot? How many CCs?

Anyway I had the same problem when I injected in my delt. Shock down to my hand and it bled and left a bruise. I dont shoot in the delt anymore. The hip muscle is my favorite. Painless every time. Apparently there aren't many nerves running in that area. Triceps are my second favorite but I try to keep the volume down to half or maybe 3/4 of a CC.

man im the opposite! my left leg is always good but i cant ever get my right leg without hitting a vein

I'm sure the electric shock is a nerve. I've been pinning about one year...only quads Monday and Thursday. I've had two gushers and thats it. But I've had plenty of "electric shocks" I just pull back a little and push the needle at a slightly different angle. Been having some really smooth injects lately way more outside of center. Almost on the side.

Nah brother, 600mg of test e on one side and 400mg of deca on the other.

what week are you on with the test/ deca cycle? How are your gains? I am starting that exact cycle next week. I am going to try the quad injection too. I hope it works out.. I will do 600 test and 400 deca in 2 shots per week. so 300 test and 200 deca in one shot. Is 2 cc's to much for the quad?

Week 5 today. My thighs are a bit tender now but I suppose any body part would be after getting pinned! My glutes are still really sore but the mass seems to be decreasing in size. If the redness is still there tomorrow and has not started to decrease or has increased, I will go to the Dr.
