Injection gone wrong???

[FrankRizzo]

Last night I was hitting the upper/outer thigh with my daily shot and as I was depressing the plunger my muscles in my leg involuntarily contracted. I had gotten about 1 cc out of 2.5cc's in my leg when the contraction happened. It sent the needle sideways in my leg and it hurt like a bitch and still does. I restuck about an inch away and the rest went in fine.

I was injecting 1.5 cc fina (110mg), 1/2 cc EQ (100mg) and 1/2 cc of T-Prop (50mg).

Why did this happen???

My guess is that you hit a nerve...

Hit a nerve maybe That is what first came to my mind

Yeah, I got out the old human anatomy book and saw that there are nerves running everywhere across the front of my thigh (as well as everywhere else of course). It is strange that I haven't hit one before this.

I don't know why, but I find it unnerving to look at cross sections of what I am injecting into. It makes me all squeemish. I guess I am a big puss. LOL

If the area starts to swell, get in to your doc immediately. You might have a deep hematoma. Some of the small arterioles in the thigh have nerves. Be careful using the thigh.

It has almost been 24 hours since the incident and all I have is a little soreness. No noticable difference in size between the two thighs. Thanx for the heads up everyone!

Holy fuck!!! I just hit a nerve. Sorry dude, I know how it feels. Be careful because permanent damage can be caused by this.

That's why I was nervous. If my leg quits working I am pretty fucked when it comes time to hit the squat rack again. I am having to use my thighs as injection site because this cycle I have undertaken requires daily injections. I am using glutes and quads. Should I maybe get some 1 inch pins and use delts instead?? Anyone prefer delts to the thigh?

I do glutes and delts. I was going to try a thigh but wilson6 has just scared the shit out of me with his other post.
