LOSING GEAR from shoulder injections?!?!

[ceo]

Ok, here's the scenario:

Injecting into shoulders using 1" pins for at least a couple months now. Rotating sites, so at most each shoulder gets hit once every four days. Never any problems of any kind...until recently.

Recently there has been bruising (small bruises that go away within a couple days), hard knots at injection sites, practically unstoppable bleeding, and finally (and most disturbing) losing gear from the site after injection!!!

Once the injection is completed and the pin is pulled out, oil immediately begins flowing back out of the injection site. Usually pressure has been applied using an alcohol soaked cotton ball, and the site has been massaged in attempts to keep as much oil in as possible. The last time, no pressure was applied...and an estimated 1/4cc was lost.

Has anyone ever experienced this specifically?

What have you been able to do to rectify it?

Should a longer pin be used?

Is there a possible build up of oil at the site?

Anyone that can offer input please reply. Thank you.

scar tissue.

try glutes, quads, triceps.

i never hit one site more than once every 10 days.

ditto above...rotate that shit...do each glute and each shoulder and you should feel much better...shoulder injections are great but glutes are just as easy, as long as you can reach your ass without cramping up like I occasionally do....to help with the oil from spilling out have a cloth with some rubbing alchohal on it and as soon as you pull the pin out push hard on the injection site and rub it with the cloth...kind of like stopping blood from a cut...hope this helps

why is it that thigh injections are so damn painful? Everywhere else is fine but with the thighs oh damn...limping for a week.

Thigh injections hurt because you don't do them often enough.

The leaking from the injection site can be caused from injectibg too fast. That happens to me if I go too quick. I guess the oil doesn't have enough time to absorb before the hole fills up.

My leak sometimes also. I use 5/8" in the sholder. Try leaving the needle in a few seconds longer after all the fluid is in. Seems to help me.
