Redness after pinning

[auslifter90]

Hey guys I pinned my right quad, hurt like hell after a few hours and could barely walk for a few days and the pains basically gone and I can use it as normal. Pinned my left quad and the same pain except the area feels hotter and is a bit red an I seem to be holding water on this thigh. It's been 2 days since I pinned it. It does feel slightly better today but I was a little worried about the water
I used a 5/8" length 25g needle for this quad, the other I use 1 1/4" 23g
I'm worried I didn't go deep enough into the muscle. I highly doubt I injected it subq by mistake I dot hold that much fat on my quads it seemed pretty clear to me. Next time I will use longer needles to be safe but what shoul I look out for in case I need antibiotics or to get my leg drained or something horrible lol

I should mention I accidentally pushed some air into my quad I left too much air in and I meant to stop pushing but it just went in and made me literally gasp it felt so weird

any air into the muscle will not hurt you, I have done 100's on inj's some went smooth some went wacko, just like my last night inj, 250mg of test Eth into the tri, now today i have a swollen spot in my elbow that hurts like hell to bend it, take 800mgs of an anti Inflammatory twice daily intil the swelling goes down.

It comes with the lifestyle we choose to lead.

yeah ive been using nurofen and aspirin and icing the area. its actually a LOT better than this morning, i did a lot of walking today to ge the blood flowing too. im not sure if i should pin my right quad again or do right and left glutes this week before moving back to quads. i dont want to get a swollen arse and struggle to sit down all week!

You should never ice an oil inject ,better to massage and put a heating pad on it or soak in hot water, this will help dispurse the oil, cold will not do this .

ok thats good to know i think ill just keep trying to walk it out next time. only been icing my left because has been so hot the skin feels like its burning. was a little worried about abscess or infection but its slowly subsiding i think itll be ok. thanks for your advice radar do you think its worth pinning glutes if this is how my virgin muscles are reacting or just keep swapping quads? i could combine injections so i only have to go once a week

I started in Delts my first time ,they are super easy to do, but Quads are good also, just be sure to flex your leg sitting down, look for the vessels, once you have found the muscle ,Relax put a finger on the spot and inject.
The only drawback is if it's summer you will have red dots on your legs from the pinning.

im naturally very hairy and im usually covered in red dots on my legs lol. i literally cant find the spots i injected, so far theyve been so clean and painless ive been shocked, havent even had a drop of blood yet! im too scared to do delts because i dont want to lose all mobility in my arm for 3-4 days
