Right. I'm on my 4th Injection. First with leg at right angle hurt like hell and lasted about 4 days, second with leg out straight rested on a stool and I hardly felt it, third, again, leg at a right angle and hardly felt. Now the fourth one I did a bit differently because I didn't wanna be pinning the same place all the time, plus I'd noticed the pinhole hadn't heeled since the last time so I pinned it right above my knee in a nice big juicy piece of muscle and it really hurts like fook.
My leg has swollen up at the injection site. I can walk on it, do squats on it, but the swelling is a bit worrying.
Also, I've noticed that the injection site at the three previous injection sites(all in same spot) has a bit of a bump, although, it could be muscle I've gained.
I've looked in to injection techniques(defo not doing glutes) and it seems the best bet is about a hand span from the knee up the quads(for me at least) either at right angle or out straight. I won't be pinning just above the knee again
I knew it wasn't right as soon as the needle went in cos it made me flinch and needles don't bother me at all.
Anyway, the lumps and swelling in my leg? Any input people? Should I alternate legs?
