Thread: Injection Soreness

Is this your first quad shot? If so, find a new spot on the quad or else dont do it again. I never had good luck with quads personally.

Yeah, I can't flex the inner quad muscle when I try. It's weird, like I hit a nerve or something.

Ok, now my temp is 99.5. Not good.

Now my temp is 98.6 again. WTF? loll

Got ya. Right now it's 99.2 again. This thermometer must be broken.

Where you inject may be part of the issue too. There are quite a few nerves in the quads. I am still trying to find a painfree spot....currently hitting the outside of the quads. Check where you inject to make sure you are hitting the meat of the muscle.

Do you have a picture of where the perfect spot is?

Spotinjections.com is absolutely no help.



I think I hit a nerve and that's why I can't friggin flex my quad right.


I went in with a 23g 1 inch pin. Maybe i need a shorter pin, and 25g?

The length pin you need probably depends on your bodyfat. You can definitely try a 25g, it will just take longer to inject. I'd stick with a 1.5" needle unless you are super lean. You don't have to go all 1.5" in though. I'd want to get it reasonably deep in the muscle though.

Unfortunately I don't have a good picture of where to inject.

I just sit in a chair, flex the muscle and look at it. I shoot a little to the outside...maybe a 40 degree rotation around my leg. There is an especially hard clump of you quad there. Tough to describe and you'll probably just have to try spots by trial and error anyhow.

I went all the way in with 1 inch, in a very lean part of the leg, so I know i was in muscle. I probably went too far in infact, and hit a nerve and f'd it up, because it's sore as hell, and is preventing me from lifting.

I know that the spotinjection pics are useless but ive been injecting in same spot every week switchin leg each weak with a 1.5" and my only problem is my left leg I think I ahve alot of scar tissue but I find, and this is probly some bad advice, but right after I do my shot I do some exercices like cardio and the next day im fine all the time.

You are supposed to measure more than once daily, and the spot most accurate is not on your forehead or in your mouth.

Well if that's the case, then I'm gonna say it's up slightly but not over the 99 degrees range.

I ahd that from my first 2 shots during my first and only cycle. I shot in my delts, and had much better sucess. If you shot into the same spot, the injection site soreness will eventually stop happening, or atleast it did with me. Suck it up dude, your gonna be huge soon.

Hope you alright bigdyl!

Yeah I'll get big if my legs don't hurt so badly that I can't even lift...ROFL

Daryl, don't sweat it Bro. I still get some painful ones now and again. I remember the first shot or I should say I remember the following day. Dear god I thought something was seriously wrong.

Fact is, more than likely you did everything right and have nothing to worry about. I found that after some time of shooting in the same spot the more comfortable it becomes.

Just make sure your temp stays within normal ranges and the injection area doesn't become very inflamed. Again, more than likely you are doing everything properly.

I really thought I did everything perfectly.


Maybe my body needs to adjust to this new substance, or adjust to the long esters--and that's why I feel sick.


Thanks for the reply.

I got light headed after my first shot, but I later realized that it was just my mind playing tricks on me. Don't worry, it happens to a lot of people after their first shot.

Also, think about what I said about doing them in your delts. I had the most sucess in my delt, because the soreness didn't bother me as bad as it would in the butt or hip. You don't walk and sit with you delt.

What size did you use for your delt? 1/2 inch 25g?

21 gauge x 1.1/2

Good lord that's a large gauge.


there is no way you could penetrate 1.5 inches in without hitting bone?

I didn't go all the way in. I only went in half way, and all of my injects went perfectly.

Got a pic of where you injected?

25g 1" for Delts and Triceps. Lovely.

It's still sore as hell today. I can barely walk on my friggin leg.

No signs of infection. No redness or warm, minimal swelling.

Lesson learned. Don't use the quad anymore.
