Im on my fourth week of my test e cycle, My pins have been goin good except this last one, I do everything my the book! On injection site cleaning n all... This is what i did Monday. I draw with an 18g, n pin wth a 23g,(YES) I use alcohol pads!! On vial leg n needles all before the pin. Use new needles everytime, includin draw needle.. i pinned my left quad everything went in fine, i pull out SLOW taking my time, and massage after. Did have some clear fluid come out once the needles was out, sure its the test! Later the night it was getting stiff. I woke up this morning n could barely put pressure on it, the pain is right above my knee cap! In the head of quad nowhere near the inj site! What do u guys think it was??
 
Virgin Muscle

Did u aspirate? I think it's probably just a virgin muscle or maybe you hurt it at the gym? I've been injecting in my legs for 9 weeks now and never had any problems except hitting an occasional nerve in which case I pull out, switch the needle, and do it again.
 
Yes i aspirate! i usually pull back half a cc! is that too much? Ive hit a nerve before on that leg, it started spazin! I pulled out swapped pins n put it back in wth no prob. Just cact hardly bend my knee or lock it out! But, It will be better by tomoro im sure
 
sounds like normal quad injection pain to me.

but y would u use the alcohol pad on a pin? it should already be sterile and u risk dulling the needle and/or leaving cloth material from the pad on the pin. no one does that. including nurses but they dont even aspirate.
