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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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. |
|
You are supposed to measure more than once daily, and the spot most accurate is not on your forehead or in your mouth.
|
|
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.
|
|
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. |
|
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.
|
|
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. |
|
He's probably using Prop, which requires injections too frequently for delts each time. If you're using En or Cyp and only pin once a week, you can use just your delts. That way you're only hitting one every two weeks.
|
|
If you aren't pretty experienced giving shots, why not just use your glutes. I am not even sure you would need to inject anywhere else unless you are using short esters.
You'll know if you hit a nerve when you inject. I pretty much never hit nerves in the glutes. There just aren't that many to hit. |
|
That's what I thought last night. But no change.
I really hope it will... or I don't know if I can handle this shit... |
|
Day 3: Quad feels the same. It's such that I scream out in pain when I sit down in the car.
I don't care what anyone says, this isn't normal. There is no way it is this painful. It's not going away either. |
|
Maybe you should go see a doctor. You say it has been terribly painful for 3 or 4 days now?
|
|
Hey bro.....
Here is the whole thing...... if you feel anything when you are sliding in the needle (I hope you dont jab), pull out and try again. Because you should not feel anything after piercing the skin. For me personally, hitting the middle towards the outside of the quad is the best. I hardly ever hit anything. |
|
Yeah, but it wasn't painful after the injection. Only the day after. This is day 3.
Some people on other boards are saying it's probably the BA. |
|
I think it is the BA also. Nothing you have described is really consistent with nerve damage.
|
|
When I used bold cyp, sometimes I couldn't even bend over to put my socks on.
|
|
Yeah, Swisher should be good to go. Not sure why you're having such a bad time. Hopefully it'll pass.
|
|
I'm telling you BigD, hit your delt. You don’t have to sit and walk with your shoulder. I had 6 weeks of flawless injections, except my first one hurt like a mofo for 4 days. I bet by tomorrow the pain will be going away.
|
|
See my post above. A friend of mine used 400mg Test E with no problems whatsoever. And Swisher has always been quality. Are you sure you didn't have like a seizure in the middle of your inject?
|
|
LOL. I think i'd know if I had a seizure. What would that have to do with it though?
|
|
It was a joke. I was insinuating you may have moved that needle around a hell of a lot more than you thought when it was in the muscle.
![]() |
|
I may have moved it a bit, I think I may have twisted it in a circle... is that bad? Didn't hurt at the time.
|
|
Well I'm slowly going insane, but I think it feels a tiny bit better. I think I'll go do some heavy squats (rofl j/k)
But i'll at least do upper body tonight. On a side note I feel 1000 times better than Monday. (as far as test flu) |
|
Have you been massaging the area? Taking hot baths? Heating pad?
|
|
LOL, being on IM isn't my day job, ya know?
Androgens increase sympathetic output to an extent, especially epinephrine. Hence the increased heart rate. Nothing to be concerned about if resting BP is within range. I'd lay off any stims and pumps supps if you take them. What supplements are you on? Don't sweat the sorness. As long as you hit the rights spots and don't get an infection, you're cool. |
|
Damn I take it your still feeling like shit bro.I have debated cycles and have researched for quite some time but am getting leary after the shit your going through.
![]() |
|
Well expect your resting heart rate to go up around 10-15 bpm.
Your blood preassure will go up, but it's up to your genetics and current diet on how much. Dys and Sys may go up 10-20. You will feel hot. You may get the "test flu" for the first 2-3 days. Your injection location may be sore as fuck for a week. You may lose your appetite sometimes and have more of one others. You may feel a more tired, and a little fatique. Sometimes you can't sleep, other times you can. Day 5. ![]() |
|
I have been researching since before I came to IM and quitely scouring the board and you are making me cautious.Back to the books I guess I need more info.

Hey Daryl, you ever consider diluting with some oil? My first cycle was test LE. It was 400mg/ml and like I've said before, hurt like all hell.
My source told me to dilute with cotton seed oil and it would cut the pain. Sure enough, it worked. Just a thought. |
|
The test-e has a water consistency, but is amber colored.
I have nothing to cut it with for the next shot...so should i wait until i get the oil in, or bite the bullet with a delt shot from hell? |
|
You better not be starting already. You need cycle support 2x a day and a blood preassure monitor at least.
No tren! |

Ok, I know I said I was done with this thread after Dyl's gay advance, but man, that BP is whack. Get some Co-Q10 and Hawthorne Berry extract stat.

Ordered cycle support yesterday, they promised 3 day delivery.
BP 130 / 78 Sorry, but I couldn't help myself. I want to be swole! This morning I did: 250mg Enanthate & 75mg Tren Acetate |
|
Lawl, I forgot I shot yesterday. I haven't the slightest bit of pain in my delt.
|
|
It's the high concentration of powder/BA from what I've heard.
The delt is not nearly as sore today as the quad was. It's very managable. The quad wasn't. |
|
Who, mine?
My blood preassure is around 120-125 over 60-65. Is that bad? I started at 114/58, so it went up about 5-10 points. |
|
Yeah. My condition is called high blood pressure! Lawl, seriously. Everyone on my father's side of the family die at between 50-70 of a heart attack. It goes without exception. I expect to die around 60 years of age of a heart attack.
My BP was closer to 145/90 during my freshman year of college and I was snorting meth just to get to class on time. ![]() |
|
You need some cycle support son!
Also, I might double up on hawthorn berry. You should too. Maybe a baby aspirin in the morning, and at night. And fish oils with every meal to thin the blood. |
|
I take Lotrel for my pressure....its got my pressure way down...from like 150/90 ish to 128/78 last time I checked it....so I'm happy with that. My grandma had high pressure for her whole life and lived to be 93.
|
|
Not sure how I could convince a doc to give me any because off cycle I'm like 112/58
|
|
Lasix, is that prescrip?
Also, what about arimidex? That cuts down on water too. |
|
Yeah I guess ag-guys has aromasin which is the same as arimidex.
10 mgs EOD sound good for aromasin? |
|
BigDyl, did you continue with the shots from swih? I started the same test e (says 300mg/ml) from swish, took 3 shots until now, left/right gluts and left quads. After each shot i ended up with soreness & pain, unable to sit & walk properly.. I even had a friend do the quad inject just to rule out my error..
I only have my right quad now that's ok so want to know how it progressed for you after few weeks before i get that also in pain... |
|
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.
|
|
ok cool thanks. I'm changing brands for now, will try this again during my last week of cycle.
|
|
Never had any luck with quad injections?? Where's a better mark??
