Avoiding quad nerve

[ryno9000]

Anyone have a special formula to find a nice place on the quad that doesn't have a nerve? I like quad injects - usually relatively painless and gives me 2 extra spots to rotate when I am doing as many shots a week as I am. However, it is the one place I always find a nerve in - like a land mine field down there.

I take my hand, place my finger tips loosely near my knee cap rotate it to let's say 11 o'clock?? Right where the palm of my hand is is where I swab. Right dead center of my palm too. Not right on top of my quad but like I an trying to explain just outside. About 7-8 inches above my knee cap. I heat my full barrel, and insert it real slow in hopes of avoiding a nerve. Knock on wood, never hit on yet. Hope it helps bro. That's just my experience.

Top outer quad seems to have less nerves to hit bro....
i like to inject quads nice and slow with a 1.25 inch 23 guage pin.....you can slightly sqeeze the muscle while pushing in then slowly release the muscle when the pin is where you want it...then aspirate.
dont know why but i am always more likely to hit a nerve on my left leg, anywho....nice and slow is the way to go !

Thanks guys - I'll give those measurements a try. I always go waaaaaaay slow on quad injects. Just started doing them again and haven't hit one yet, but could feel I was in the general area of one and I remember how much it shocks the system to hit one. Bound to happen over my 10 ED pinning cycle. It's like cranking a jack in the box...

good tips above.

what i do is draw a cross on my quad. from knee to quad, and from left to right. then hit the upper outer quadrant like said above.

also i've noticed the way i sit effects the injection. make sure you are sitting where your leg is relaxed and calm

best injection for me

i like to take a hot shower.. load the syringe. swab the area, shoot into my left delt, swab the area again. then let the hot water run over the area. easy and painless.

I don't care if I hit a nerve I pause and keep going only time I pull out is if I hit a vein blood will shoot and I don't wanna waste any

I used to hit nerves when I shot with my knee bent now I do it with my leg propped up on the couch or bed or standing up relaxed and have never hit one

I love quads so much room too put the needle I shoot em 4 times a week on my current cycle

Man Quad injects are either painless and smooth like a hot knife through butter and you dont even notice the damn thing, OR, you hit every vein and nerve possible. I hate the tingly feeling when youre in the ball park of a nerve it bothers me like nails on a chalkboard and makes me cringe! Just thinking about it made my leg and brain hurt lol

PS: Guess its time to torment myself with my 2nd cycle....geeeez

Dont understand why not just do delt. I mean the position may not be very comfortable, but theres no pain on my end. Everyone has there preferences though. I think you should give delt a shot.
