Glute inject...woops!

[Nighthawkk]

I usually do these painlessly with my 23g 1 1/2" pins. But yesterday I think I went a little too close to my ass crack, rather than hitting the upper left or right quadrant of the butt (meaning if you were looking straight at my ass, I jabbed in a few inches closer to the crack than I should have). Is this ok? I'm sure it still went into the muscle, as it is a little more sore than usual...

if your ok then i would surmise that it was ok. i'd watch out tho theres a pretty important nerve running back there and i guess it sucks pretty bad if you hit it.

No I don't think I hit a nerve, but I may have hit a vessel because there was quite a rush of blood after I pulled out the needle. I had to hold an alcohol cotton swab there for a good ten minutes.

That just happened to me the other day. i must have broke through a vein. my ass shot blood when i pulle the needle out. bled just for a minute and i was fine.

How easy does the solution go through that 23g needle? i know 25g's are a bitch to sqeeze. i think i may try i bigger needle next time.

Well it goes through much quicker than a 25g, that's for sure. I used the 25's for my spot injects with fina, but that's only because I never used more than a mL at a time...its takes VERY long to draw up and shoot out. So for glutes I never go higher than 23g

25's are really slow to inject, but is that a bad thing?

 

[princeton]

got them 22's baby. They work nice

 

[jubei]

Don't you find 22's a little bit harpoonish? How the hell did people use those 18g redijects?

i don't wanna even think about what that would feel like

 

[Nighthawkk]

I've used 20g redijects before with no problems. Actually my first jab ever was with one

 

[Scaggs]

i got 22's but thought they were a bit big. how painfull is a 22?

i don't even feel the 25g. not even a little prick. but its a bitch trying to squeeze the gear through it at such a wierd angle.

I've always used 22g and never felt any pain, not even a few days after. Plus the gear goes in nice and easy too

 

[TheRide]

No I don't think I hit a nerve

Trust me, if you did hit a nerve you WOULD KNOW IT!

22's are fine for glutes, once it's in your barely feel it

 

[Scaggs]

hehehe....yes 22g is good, very good....

I use 25g for everything. It doesnt take that long to inject the stuff. Using the bigger needles starts to take a toll when you have to inject everyday.

True. However most don't inject everyday....except for tren, prop, winny and shit like that. In which case I would not use 22 or 23g.

I like the 23.
