First time injecting...shoulders in alot of pain.

Ok so i got my stuff today...i loaded it up did everything i was suppose to i stuck it in didnt hesitate at all, got it in, it burned alittle then was fine. Then i was shitting bricks trying to asperate with one hand, possible moved the other arm alittle and the needle alittle....was shaking and felt sick doing it the whole time pulled it out it hurt alittle...went to the gym got back watched a movie now, i can barely move my arm. Feels as if i still have a needle in it when i move it.

Did i fuck up or is it always this bad? im dreading doing this again thursday....is there any spots that are less painful/easier?

What size needle did you use?

 

[billy17425]

25g 1"...put it all the way in

I use that size for delts and have no prob. Some do some don't, but I never aspirate. Sounds like trying to do that may have gotten you hurt. Anyways, I suggest always injecting before bed. I always inject right after I get out of the show so I'm more relaxed. Then grab an ice pack and ice the injected area for 20 min. Then lay down, go to sleep and wake up the next morning with no thought of that injection.

ya that and i was all tense and freaked out

I would start out with quads...easiest to relax on at first. But, always be carfeful!

You prolly are sore because you tensed up. When you go to the docs they always tell you to relax and not flex or tense up real bad and thats why. If you are gunna do it you gotta just do it. Think about what this shit will do for you and just sit there and take it like a man. Just relax next time the worst thing you can do is think about it.

LOL LOL I am sorry but a actually started laughing out loud on that one. haha ok sorry. Anyway I am kinda like this when the doctor or nurse injects me. I know I have to keep the inject site relaxed so I end up tightening up everything else. For some reason I can't stand when I get injected by someone else plus I make it worse by asking them how much they are injecting and what guage they are using but I have no problem at all doing it to myself. If you stick your shoulder then tighten up a leg. If you inject your leg then tighten up the arm you aren't using. Try something like that to help release some anxiety.

Just try and relax...remember there's thousands of guys who have done this before and thousands more after you and no deaths yet (well...not that I've heard of)
