Injecting Problems : Hard to push gear out syringe.

[moss84]

I don't wehat the deal is, but all of sudden it's to push the oil out when doing glute injections. I literally have to push as hard as I can.

Anybody know what causes this?
Thanks

What size needle are you using, and what are you injecting?

scar tissue...move the syringe to a different spot spotinjections.com

Scar tissue could be the answer. Try heating up your gear so that it's less viscous. This will help it get through the needle easier, plus you'll be less sore.

Could be scar tissue like stated above. Try warming up the sryinge under hot water for a few minutes first. That and warming up the injection site before and after really help.

I've been heating gear in the micro for years. Just unscrew the pin, stand it up in a coffe cup, blast for 30 secs, screw pin back on, mix a bit so it's evenly distributed, then shoot. Even if you don't have full blown scar tissue repeated injects does toughen up the muscle a bit. Besides, warm oil disappates better when you massage it in the muscle and it's less likely to cause pain and swelling with hot gear like prop.

Sounds like a good idea, but my micro is so dirty I would'nt put anything I'm injecting into it. Hot water works good for me. try taking a hot shower first and massaging the injection site while you're in there, and then again after.

That sounds easy enough to try. Do you unscrew the needle out before placing under the water? Also, do you place a syringe filled with gear under the hot water or an empty one?
