This is really weird.

[FWMFSW]

Hey guys.

As some of you know from my last post, i did my first pin, quads, two days ago. I forgot to swab my skin with alcohol but seems i got no infection.

The weird thing is that i have the lower part of my quad a lil swolen, just above the knee, and seems like if there is liquid inside.

I used a 25g 5/8", my bf is pretty low, likely 11 or 12. What im thinking is that maybe this pin was too short, and the oil wasnt injected deep enough and it has dripped down to the low part of the quad, and it is acummulated there instead of being absorbed by the muslce.

I dont know if this makes any sense or is completely stupid, but im starting to freak out, i dont know if i have to pin that swolled area to extract any liquid there.

Please, any input will be greatly appreciated.

Don't stick a pin in there and try extract it yourself !!!!!

Just put some heat on the area it will disperse itself.
Steroids can be absorbed Sub Q but it takes longer.

A similar thing happened to me when I pinned my quad for the first time but Im really not stressing over it.. I pinned the outside of the quad (with a 1" pin), maybe 10 inches back from the kneecap..
While I was injecting it was really pressurised and taking a while as expected but as I got down to maybe a third of a cc left it all just squirted in with absolutely no effort. It even sounded like I was squirting it into thin air so I guess some may have leaked out..
My body fat will be higher than yours and while I feel like there was swelling it wasn't visible.. I had no pain from the injection , no blood from the injection (No alcohol swabs at hand either but Im sorting that).. Maybe 5 or 6 hours later it felt like there was bruising at the injection site.. Lying in bed at night my leg started to go numb (like a pins and needles feeling) but this was all the way from the pin mark down to the knee.. I immediately got up and walked around the room and just massaged it a bit and then went went back to bed.. It went numb again a few more times but didn't really concern me..

I had a good nights sleep and have not had anymore issues since then.. Im putting it down to virgin muscle.. I think stressing about it would play with the mind and make me not want to do the next injection and that aint happening..

the gear has dripped down to your knee because you spend most of the day on your feet and gravity pulls it down. what you need to do is do a handstand for about an hour and let gravitry bring the gear back toward your hip bro. you're welcome.

Eh... serious please...

I hope it can be absorbed sub q as you say blaze cos im afraid it is what happened, the needle was too short.

i had the same thing happen to me once too...

funny thing was.. the area would hurt only when i pissed.. lol

weird shit..

 

[GetToDaChoppa!]

dude dont worry. It can be absorbed sub q, it just wont absorb as quickly as it would in muscle tissue. Don't fuck with it... Get a hot pad and let it sit there for a while and it will start dispersing.

**woops, I just saw someone else posted the same advice...well at least you have validation..**

I shouldn't have posted a reply yesterday because I've had nothing but pain running from my quad to my knee since then..
It feels like someone hit me on the side of my thigh with a sledgehammer.. It feels even worse after waking up this morning.. There is no visible swelling but if feels so badly swollen as if there was padding wrapped around my knee..
Again , Im just puting it down to virgin muscle rather than any mistake made during injection but don't think I'll be doing my other quad just yet with my next pin being tomorrow..

FWMFSW , have you done any more pins since your quad ?

 

[FWMFSW]

Sorry to hear that g2272.

Yes, i pinned my left quad yesterday, and used an 23g 1" instead of the 25g 5/8". Im not having the weird swelling that i had on my right quad so its confirming it was too short.

When woke up today the swelling in the right quad had decrease considerably, and also the pain. I have some small pain in the left quad but its something expected considering its virgin muscle. Next im trying glutes.

I hope yours get better soon.

Glad to hear that.. As much as the concern about the swelling you had , I'd have been just as worried that there was potential that the oil injected would become useless but it's good to hear from others saying that even if it went subq it just means it takes longer to work than when going straight into muscle..
If your second pin is anything like mine was , it will be tomorrow before you get this "sledgehammer effect" that Im currently going through... Bending the knee is a killer but even then I've grinned and bared it to do some minutes on a cross trainer.. That's about all I can do for now..

 

[g2272]

Quad pain that I had yesterday is halved now and I expect it should be completely clear in a couple of days..
I think I'll man up and do my other quad today..
