eliminating twitching when injecting

[leonidas33]

my thigh injects have been going great. Every now and then I start burying the needle and get a HUGE twitch... it freaks me out and I instinctually pull the needle right out and reinject somewhere else...

how do you guys handle these twitches?

 

[Selene]

you are hitting a nerve it is not anything to worry you about

good luck to you

thanks Selene... ok to just reswab the needle and reinject somewhere else?

 

[ukkared]

Don't worry about it unless it hurts like a mofo. No reason to take the needle out unless you aspirate and you get some blood. If you do take the needle out I would switch it with a new one before re-injecting, but thats just me.

Just to be sure, are you injecting in the right spot?

Selene, I don't think he's hitting a nerve. I've hit one before and it's not pretty! Felt like lightning shooting through my leg and with uncontrollable reflexes.

I believe so... i am going straight in off the side of the outer quad... nearly about right in the middle of the knee and the top of the leg...

is there a better spot?

but what if the twitching continues... I can't handle that... I sometimes think it is caused by focusing too much on what I am doing and actually tensing the leg muscle a bit... is that possible?

Very possible! Ur leg has to be totally relaxed. I think u just solved ur own problem!

I also would switch to new one before injecting again.

^ yep i agree


whats up advanced!

 

[ximor]

I hit a nerve every once in a while but if you stop there it hurts. Just push it past that point and it slides into more muscle.

 

[holy ghost]

dont keep going straight down hit it at an angle

I drive the pin in fast to avoid twitching,otherwise I would be twitching like crazy

I have just started injectinos in my legs and I get the twitches as well..It's pretty normal....just make sure no blood and yur good....

i love quad injects, and occasionally i'll experience a twitch. usually it's accompanied by pain because i'm sure i've hit a nerve. when it happens, i pull back very slightly on the needle and just re-direct. just like a good fuck, once the tip is buried, i don't pull it out until the job is done.

hahahahah! however, this makes me worry about jabbing it in fast now. wtf?

 

[blut wump]

It's from tensing the muscle. Make a big effort to relax the muscle that you're sticking and it shouldn't happen. Ensure that you're in a good, stable position prior to injecting so that you're not likely to tense the muscle.
