Got pain and tightnesss from pin

[Angellico]

Well I did my 3rd quad pin on fri I dont know what happend but in the same area where I had done a pin 2 previous shots, its really sore and feels tight.

Did I hit something?
And should I be concerned and go see a doc or has this happened to ppl here before?

Did you pin the same quad all three times or switch back and forth? It's probably just irritated.

 

[stevesmi]

you never said what you pinned or how much.

you aren't hitting the same spot over and over again are you? have to rotate

Also there's Usually going to be a degree of tightness and or pain atleast... Depending on what you're pinning.. Especially if you're pinning the same spot repeatedly.

Im pinning 250 test e twice a week.

I did my first pin in shoulder then I read that quads are best cause less chance of hitting something and less pain.

So I did 2nd in right quad then 3 in left then my 4th again on right, and now my right quad is so f;in sore i can barley walk on it. it feels like I have a knife in my leg.

What size needle did you use? It sounds like you didn't get deep enough in the muscle and some of the oil came out. I've had this same problem.

You may have bumped a nerve or a vein. Rotate sites frequently helps too.

i used 23g 1 inch needles.

i think 1 inch is plenty cause first 2 times everything was all good.

is there anything i can do to ease the soreness pain, like use an icepack or something?

You gotta be pretty lean to use one inch.
Use some Sort of heat or heat pack. Warm shower. Coz one source of pain is the crystals going solid after oil dissipates... So I've heard warmth helps with sorta softening them lol. (couldn't word better. Sorry)

heat does make sense cause when i took a shower i was actually able to bend my leg

i think im lean enough for 1 inch, my quads are 20.5 around.

think ill check with my doctor and see what size he thinks i shoud use. i just dont wanna hit anything with 1.5

With my first 1 inch pin in my quad i was about 97% of the way in then it got little tough with little pain, felt like i was going into something thick.

i couldnt emagine going in another .5 then.

2nd quad pin went nice and smooth

So like i said, ill check withmy doc

Doesn't matter how wide, matters if there's 4 inches of fat on it though haha yeah the tough feeling is probably muscle haha. You're doing it with leg completely relaxed right? Otherwise it's trying to pop through tight muscle.
Good to hear heat helped bro

I never had a problem using a slin pin through my quad, even when I'm above 10%bf. It's awesome for stuff like Tren Ace since you have to pin ED or EOD.

 

[PatrickKR]

I used ice and heat. When I used heat I would massage it to help break up the crystals it seemed to help. It took mine almost a week to stop hurting

 

[stevesmi]

if you are flexed when you inject it can definately hurt your muscle..

also you must hit the upper outer quadrant of the quads.. hit too low on the leg and you will hit a bunch of veins which can bruise you. use a pen to mark the leg from the knee to hip and then side to side. make sure the lines are equal. too many guys hit too low cause when you sit you think you are hitting the right spot but really you are hitting too close to the knee.
