Thread: Need advice asap

Ive had pain like that also in the past. it was due to a high concentration of BA(a solvent in many injectables) Everytime this happend I just waited it out and was good after 6 or 7 days. swelling goes down, reddness goes away, and pain subsides.
another thing I have heard(never experienced) was gear crashing(not staying suspended in the oil and solvents and reverting to its original powder for. really it gels up. I heard that this can cause pain like what you are experiencing. But i will say that i dont know much about this and if its even true. hope this helps
also if you are really worried then go see a doc. they cant disclose your info anyway.

BTW most people like quad pins. I personally find it to be shitty! dont like pinning quads, but i doubt the pain is soley because it was in the quad. I have a feeling that you probably wouldnt want to pin in the glutes again if that was where you had injected that one...lol

Don't stress it yet. You need to take motrin 800mg three times a day for the next 3 days. This will decrease the inflammation and pain. Don't both with Tylenol it is not an Nsaid. Apply warm compresses to the site. If the area becomes increasingly red and swollen and the site doesn't get better after 2-3 days then yes go and get seen. Or if you really scared and concerned get seen. Dont take penicillin. If you don't have an infection it wont do anything for you. If you do have an infection at this point you wouldn't know which antibiotic to use. It is best left to the doc to make that decision.

People that are new to IM injections can create this problem by improper technique and location. I will quickly review the basics with you, by the way I do this for a living and wont steer you wrong.
1. Use your quads and glutes only for AAS injections. The reason is the injection needs to be deep in the muscle and the deltoids just dont have enough muscle for this.

2. Clean the site with alcohol to prevent infection.

3. Hold the needle 90 degrees to the injection site.

4. Insert the needle like a dart with one quick movement. Never try to press it into the muscle.

5. Pull back on the plunger to make sure you haven't hit a vein or artery. If you do dont worry and just pull the needle out(without injecting) and apple pressure to the site.

6. If no blood inject your dose with even pressure on the plunger.

7. Pull out and message the site to insure the AAS absorbs evenly and to prevent abscess formation.

The quad injection should take place on the lateral side of the leg (outside area). If you don't rub it out you can have what your dealing with now. It is very common to have pain at injection site like this.

PM me if you need any help

Sorry your buffness. Let me take that back the average person shouldn't inject in the delt.

im doin prop my first cycle and am scared to pin my quads lol. so far my favorite is glutes and the only other one i tried was delts which sucked. had to switch to leg day instead of shoulders.

Lol prop can be fun, esp your first time

Thank you for all the info guys i really appreciate it. im starting to feel better now just still limping its not as swollen as the last couple of days though i think work was really making it worse. Ill update you guys if anything happens but i think all is well now..

i always use my delts.. My favorite spot! If its red and you have fever. Thats classic signs of infection.

Are there really that many nerves in quads? I've been pinning almost solely quads and its not painful at all for me now, but I still get an occasional "twinge" which is what I imagine hitting a small nerve would feel like. It's never been bad but I guess that's what it could be. Glutes are a pain though, only done em twice and its just awkward.

Thousands of nerves in the quads. I don't do glutes because I'm not super flexible and I rush when pinning because of it. Delts are easier for me, so that's what I do.
