what effect does injecting steroids in to a muscle have? for example continuos injections into the glute what is it actually doing to that muscle? cause obviously its not meant to be there. does it damage the muscle in any way?

Its not gonna hurt the muscle at all, thats what its made for and where your suppose to inject. (IM - Inner Muscular)..

scar tissue i believe

Yeh, I forgot about scar tissue... well, there could be bad stuff that could happen if you dont do the protocal right. Like infection, abscess (sp?)...

 

[Selene]

yes, it does cause very small amount of scar tissue to form, if you do not hit into the muscle you can cause skin infection known as cellulitis which can be very bad and needing immediate medical treatment. Abcesses can also form if not done properly
always follow proper injection protocol and keep alcohol swabs to clean injection area and the vial prior to drawing.

Good luck to you

Just make sure you don't hit the same place more than once per week. If you were to rotate sites- day 1 left glute, 3 1/2 days later right glute, 3 1/2 days later left delt, 3 1/2 days later right delt, 3 1/2 days later left quad, 3 1/2 days later right quad. You'll end up hitting the same place every 3 weeks. This way you won't have scar tissue because 3 weeks is more than enough time for the site to heal after injection. Also, if you take care to inject properly you'll be adding further benefit by not making a mistake that will cause serious problems. Think everything out to the furthest extent possible for your own safety.
