Virgin muscle? 2nd quad injection not feeling good.

[synonymous]

I did my first quad injection 2 weeks ago. This time I did my right quad. I did it earlier in the day so I would walk around with it hopefully pushing the oil in or something. 2 days later, it's sore and there's some heat coming off it. No redness, no bump. The injection site is a bit sore to touch. Is this what people would call virgin muscle?

Thats normal. It's called PIP (post injection pain). My quads get it baddd. try the glutes. also you're injecting every two weeks? I know some doctors do that pinning schedule but minimum of once a week is best to keep flutuations minimal and control estrogen. I personally inject every monday/thursday.

quad shots can be very rough sometimes. some are good, some leave me limping for days, and from same gear. if its not red and itchy its prob a normal painful quad shot. swollen even mine gets at times. from walking and using the muscle often i feel, while the oil/hormone irritates the area.

yupp I like quads cause you have a big area to pin, but more times then not I get pip.swollen and painful.

I remember the first time I shot straight prop in the quad.... I couldn't walk for days LOL OUCH

I have just been doing my pins in the glutes and don't have any problems. Should I look at moving the injections around even if I don't have any problems with the glute? I see a lot of people talking about how good delts are to pin.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

My injections are 2x a week. My quad injections are a week apart. Sometimes 2 if I did glutes but had a shallow glute shot that got slightly infected so no more glutes for a while

I would say the infection was not from a shallow shot. It was proply painful because the oil lingered in the fat instead of the muscle. I've done that before. I use 23g 1.5" for glutes. pain free.

Once you go to glutes and delts you never will go back to quads.

I had a similar issues with quads but I was able to get it down. I used a pillow to put under my knee while sitting on the floor with my back to the couch. Be sure that your muscle is completely relaxed when doing the injection. I still got minor soreness but I could work out legs the next day without it being an issue!
