Pinning in the Calf and Infection.

[Dino Velvet]

Yes I did search pinning in the calf, I am just giving my experience with what happen to me.
Im 36, 5'9
210
around 15% bf
second cycle test/deca/equi
First time calf pin.
I pinned 1cc test and 1cc deca in left calf for a total of 2ccs, 1cc test 1 cc equi in right calf for a total of 2ccs. Pinned thursday evening, friday i was sore as hell and could not walk cause calves were tight and burning. By saturday my right calf stop hurting but left calf was burning up and swollen, and being a dumbass i waited till monday to go to the Dr. he ran an ultra sound to check for a blood clot and blood test, i have an infection in my left calf muscle. Dr. said by injecting in calfs you run a risk of hitting a vein and causing a blood clot to travel to your brain. He said you dont have to even pin in a vein just the fact of hitting one. So anyways , hope this helps someone. I posted some pics as well.

thanks for the info and hope it clears up quickly for you..

I didn't think it was any more risky than other injection sites except for feeling more pain but think I'll pass on doing the calfs just the same.

Yea i would pass on calf, but is Chest pins any better? I have not tried pinning chest? I have read that is risky as well.

I have done chest pinning.

Very easy with a slin Pin.
Prefer it to anything else TBH.

Its only risky if you get an infection.
Not the best place in the world but an infection anywhere is pretty bad.

Ok a slin Pin, damn and to think i was going to try a 23 gauge 1in, i better stick to glutes, thighs and delts.

I wouldn't pin anymore of the gear you're using if it gave you an infection.You should be able to shoot any muscle without getting a infection if your AAS is clean.Injection site pain is another story.........
I thought about doing that before and was glad one of my training partners did it first.He had what he called a involuntary gangster limp for about a week.

i pin my chest with 2.5-3pm 25g 1 inch no problem though i wouldn't necessarily recommend everyone pin that much. but 2ml I would think would be fine for most.
