? about scar tissue and injection

[Bobber]

Is it ok to inject into scar tissue? The top left portions of my glutes seem to have levels of scar tissue built up in there and it is difficult to go through and inject into. Does injecting into them increase chances of absess or inhibit the distribution of the drugs? Thanks in advance.

yeah you can inject into it but you might get less absobption. if you have not been so far you might want to use an 1 1/2 inch needle to get past the scar tissue. if you have been using 1 1/2 needles then I would avoid it for awhile if you can.

I used 1" till I it was too hard and now its too hard with the 1.5". Is it ok to inject in the lower regions of the glutes? I really want to avoid quad injections if at all possible but I guess thats where I have to go to next.

I would stay away from the lower glute, MAJOR nerves down there you hit one of those (sciaitic) you are fucked. quads aren't that bad. Some guys have bad experiences some guys don't. I would at least try them. That or delts. just push in slow and if you hit something bad, back that needle up. good luck

I don't agree with stonecold.. Scar tissue is on the surface and not in the muscle. The only problem I can see happening is that it will be tuffer to get the needle in and may hurt a little more. Your not going to have a scar 1" thick so either pin should be fine.

I agree with creep but sometimes scar tissue can form in the muscle if the needle does a lot of walking around while you are injecting. but if it is surface tissue that is scarred then it should be no problem

how do you know if you have scar tissue? can you tell by looking?

 

[stonecold54]

not by my experience, most of the time you just have a harder time pushing the needle through

thanks

its just like any other scar you've gotten from a cut. The skin is rougher and thicker. Although it may not be as visible you can definitely feel it.

I posted a link to a website that showed all the neveres in the body, it can prove uesfull.

My glutes are all scared up, not on the outside. For me it's hit or miss, I usually can fell where the scar tissue is and I try to go around it. More frequently that not I usually just wind up going throught the scar tissue. I have not noticed and negative effects in terms of absobtion, jsut that it;s harder to push the pin through the tissue.
