Severe knee pain after prop injection

Whats up guys, I just started my first cycle 8 days ago, I'm doing 100 of prop EOD. I just injected my quad for the first time last night, I woke up with PIP all along the length of my quad where it ran down after standing up and SEVERE PIP right above my patella where a good portion of it settled. I can generally handle pain/PIP well, but I now have excruciating pain upon even slighly flexing my knee when walking.

I've taken 3 ibuprofen today and a hot bath this morning, I'm about to take another bath in a bit. Anyone ever went through this before?
 
I also had this happen in both quads... From what I've gained is I need to pin higher up on my quad. But, Never pinned quads again! Pin in my glutes and no issues! Curious to know what causes this...
 
Couple threads on this already. It happens, virgin muscle + prop. Give it a couple days and it should feel better. If it doesn't or gets hot and really swollen see a doc. Tell him it was a B-12 shot if he must know. If you shoot quad again, try going a bit higher on the muscle (towards hip).
 
^^^Agree, should get better in a few days. However, this is why i never inject quads anymore, or at least rarely. Any other muscle on the body is cool, but quads are definitely the worst in terms of PIP.
 
Been there brother! I had it so bad I could walk and had to tell my foremen I pulled a muscle! My knee cap wouldn't lock for 3 days. Good luck!

I've also pinned both glutes and my right shoulder so far, I was able to made due with the PIP on those shots and keep to my routine. I can barley walk now and simply getting into my car is an accomplishment at this point, any type of leg workout is completely out of the question until this clears up.

My shot was on the top 25% of my quad and on the far lateral side. It might be due to poor site location but I'm not going to risk it again with prop. I didn't have an issue with injection site PIP on my quad but I wasn't expecting the oil to settle on top of my knee.
 
I do not pin quads because of this.
I hate prop because of this.
You'll probably be fine. Heat pad, electric blanket, jacuzzi, whatever. Massage hasn't ever helped in my experience.
 
Prop rocks! (Sorry couch). In a sadomasachistic way I love the pain from prop. Keep going with it op. it'll get better

I don't have too much of a problem with the PIP, just the whole not being able to walk part. Glutes/shoulders it is from now on.
 
1cc of prop = 100mg and ton of pain!
1cc of cyp/ethan = 250mg and low pain.
Guess prop is only for the hardcore (or the last two weeks of the cycle)

same here! there was no pain at injection spot! knee swell, limped for three days, had to just about carry my leg in to get in the car! lol! and this was with test e!
 
It's gotten worse, the area is now extremely inflammed and I can now only walk about 2-3 inches per step. And no, I'm just being a prima donna. I have a high pain threshold but it really does feel like someone took a baseball bat to my knee.

FWIW, I also had 250 of test e in the shot but I didn't think that would effect PIP too much so I left it out. I'm just using prop as a kickstart.
 
heat bro... Heat that shit up! Worked wonders for me man... I used heat pads, if I didn't have that, at work, boiled rags and wrapped my knee up.

So far, nothing seems out of the ordinary here. Regarding the e, I will sometimes use e (or sust) to dilute prop. But mostly I just don't run prop anymore. :)

Yeah, I've been doing that since the beginning. Trying to break down those there crystals.

Thanks to heat and about 8 ibuprofen I was able to improve my gait to a mangled limp by late yesterday so I went to the gym and did chest. I couldn't bend down to get on a flatbench but was able to make a decent workout out of incline and machines. A couple people asked me what happened, I was able to shut them up by just saying I took an arrow to the knee and changing the subject. Now I just wonder when I'll be able to squat/DL...
