Pin today was different??

[Tigers09]

Just wondering anyone can shed some light on the subject but today when I was pinning my quad I found it very hard to push the needle in. Only got it in about 1/32 of an inch and it was hurting like hell. Almost like my skin was leather. And I know it wasn't the needle because I had just taken it out the package.

think it could have been scar tissue? Do you pin in that area a lot?

No I don't normally pin there. So prob a negative on the scar tissue. I proceeded then to move 2 inches up and it went in fine. But I did graze a damn nerve lol

I had a wierd inject today too man in my left glute.. I asparated(sp) and didnt see any blood so I went ahead and injected.. but when I pulled out I bleed like a damn pig.. and I mean a lot of blood bro, it was kinda nasty

 

[Tigers09]

Just a bad day to be injecting. Ya that spot I couldn't get the needle in also bled somewhat. Idk what was up

There are alot of veins right below the skin and you have a pretty good chance of piercing one that's why you will see alot of blood after some injections.

But would that also attribute to the difficulty piercing the skin

Were you tense when you broke the skin? That could be a likely contributing factor. Maybe you got a dull pin?? Who knows.

 

[Tigers09]

Nope totally relaxed. Ya it felt like it was a dull pin but it was right out the pack?? Idk maybe it was a defective one cause I have tried to pin with a dull needle before and it's like injecting with a damn ball point pen.

Do you inject and draw from the same pin? It's real easy to make it dull when you draw out of your vial. If it isn't scar tissue which was my first assumption, I'd just say you got bad luck with the needle that day. Some days I'd try pinning and it'd hurt like HELL, couldn't even pierce the skin, so I'd do the other leg...by the time it was pin day again, I tried the stupid leg again, and it was usually okay.
