Thread: Big Ball in Glutes after Injection....???

How many CC's did you inject? I wouldnt worry about it, it should dissipate.

i injected almost 2cc...it is just like 2x more sore than normal, but i think its because i was doing twice a week and then i went up to EOD....

It just bothers alot more..

You can try putting something warm on it, that usually helps.

I use 22 ga. 1-1/2" for glutes and 23 ga. 1" for delts. I wouldn't think 22 ga on thighs would be an issue but only go half way in if using a 1-1/2". However, 23 or 25 would be easier I reckon.

yeai am just going to get some 25ga 1" for my thighs, my job involves getting on roofs all day so it will not be wise for me to hurt my leg and not be able to work

I wouldn't worry unless it starts to get real red and itch...it should go down just avoid hitting that spot for a while

Do your best to only hit each muscle once a week. I have been doing daily pinning so I now hits glutes, delts, quads. They are all easy as cake.

once a week in each muscle or its gonna get hard from all the scar tissue. use 23g 1.5in you can hit tops and sides of thighs, biceps but go only about an inch deep, ass. this is six sites to hit. go to spotoninjections.com and it will show you everywhere you can inject.

From what i see you have injected sub q.
I done it once before.
Make sure you rotate sights if ou are injecting EOD.

I like thighs Chest and Delts.

i use 23 guage 1'' everywhere... I hit the wrong spot in my glute a couple days ago and its been a real pain in the ass ever since!

feels like i got kicked in the ass with a ponty cowboy boot

If only pinning twice a week, would it be fine to just hit each quad once per week? Will only be 10 weeks so 10 pins per quad shouldn't be a problem if I move sites a bit right

I dont see how that happened if i used a 1.5" all the way in.

Like halfway through pinning it started hurting REAL BAD!! and i told my friend giving me the shot "PULL OUT THE NEEDLE!!" and he was like "its almost done hold on" so i waited and thats it.

A little more oil DID leak out of the hole, but thats about it.

Right now as i am sitting it is hurting like i got hit with a cowboy boot as well...

SHIT!

I used to have that problem when I was younger. The problem was I was injecting too fast. Now I take my time and have had no problems, currently 2.5 cc twice a week and mast eod. After I'm done I'll run a small paint roller over it to massage the area.

Thanks guys, will do. Today it is kind of swollen, and still a LIGHT red...i hope it doesn't get worse

OP are youo making sure you massage afterwards for agood few minutes? it could just be the oil not dissipating into your system fast enough.

also to prevent the oil leaking out you could try using the Z-track method which would also stop any accidental leakage into surrounding sub-q tissues.

also slowing down on injection time may help i usually take about 30 seconds per mil, but then i do use GP so its smooth as butter
