Glute Injection Gone Wrong

ad

Hey guys, I was hoping someone might have some advice for me on injecting in the glutes. I looked at the guides here and in other places, and I did manage to inject them once already but this time around something strange happened. The needle went in but only to a certain point, and it felt that I REALLY should not go any further. Like it was poking something it shouldn't kind of thing. I was using a 25g x 1 1/2 needle and maybe got 3/4ths of the way fully inserted before the sensation of danger set in

Any advice is appreciated since I'm still very new here! Also apologies if this is the wrong subforum. Wasn't sure which one this fit best in

Fat and scar tissue, remember upper outer! Watch that sciatic nerve hit that you will know about it from your hospital bed, I've been there. Once you find that sweet spot you will appreciate it, gluteus are the way to go. Good luck.

Are you doing your injection properly?
You cant just jam a needle in your ass. You gotta get it in the right spot. Watch a few videos on youtube not just one.

Dude, you have to be decisive when you push in. Remember to pull back and see if any blood comes out.

In this case change and repeat. There are many guides on the internet, it's simple.

You might want to consider using 1" needles. They are fine for most IM injections. It could have been a one time event for you, but nonetheless I'd go to the smaller pin.

A vain can create that sensation. If you push through everything will be fine except, when pulling out you might end up with a bit of a gusher.

Shouldn't be scar tissue buildup if you are pinning each site 1x/wk unless you are wiggling that needle around in there or injecting a lot of ml's. Make sure you are in the right spot and angle. Really no nerves in the glute unless you are in the wrong spot. If you hit a nerve you will know it, might scare you off from ever wanting to pin again. No need to be burying a 1.5" needle unless you have high bodyfat. 1" should be more than enough.

Looks like you've got a ton of good advice already but I'll throw this in. Start looking at more rotation sites. The thigh/quads was intimidating at first for me but now its one of my preferred spots. I use a 25 guage 1" long for all of my sites with no issues. I did alot of reading and all the info is here. I have injected too high and struck a nerve....(you will know immediately). This post is proof a new guy can come in with a good directed question and get help. Good luck Sir and keep pushing those weights.

Probably scar tissue.

Had similar experience before but I just push it through, main thing is to relax the muscle you are putting an injection in. Once you become experienced, you won’t even notice this

Abzzzz's picture

Okay, cool. Thanks man. Don't think the needle might be too long though?

3/4ths of the way fully inserted before the sensation of danger set in

There is a tutorial it seems to me on the subject. This is how it happens, if obviously you're sure to inject the right place, at first it comes as in butter with a feeling of pinching and you touch the muscle it can do a little worse, at this point, stop a few moments, the pain will fade, then continue slowly. If the muscle is virgin it is a little worse, but with time the pain decreases a lot. Do not use the force, go slowly, if it blocks a little you can change slightly the angle of insertion of the needle. HTH.

Thanks man.

I think maybe I've had this happen a time or 2 myself. I've just given it a little more pressure and it's gone right in. I've also hit a nerve in my glute and when that happened there is NO doubt about what you've done when that happens. That shit feels like you're sticking a cattle prod inside you're body.
Are you only pinning glutes? Both sides? I don't know you're pinning schedule but maybe you're hitting the same spot too often.

Hey man, appreciate the advice. As for my schedule I pin twice weekly so if I'm doing glutes for example I'd do left glute tuesday and right glute friday. The last time I hit it was about 3 weeks ago so I figured it should be healed by now. Also I only feel the resistance after I'm wayyy into the glute just to clarify. Maybe the needle really is too long?

Jayzgainz's picture

Maybe, you wanna be in muscle and not fat. I have 1.5 25g for glutes also but I usually end up with.5 or .25 of an inch not in because I've gotten it far enough in.
Probably not scar tissue though. Like I said, if it don't hurt, just gets hung up, I just apply a bit more pressure to get it where I want it.

A topic for the steroid section.

If you feel that u hit a nerv, vein or a already indurated point - change the injection spot and pin only if it feels ok and pain free. For glute use a 25G x 1" needle.

tattoofreak's picture

Agree, bro. But he writes that he got the "sensation of danger". When i hit a nerve, it's more than just a feeling. It hurts.

Abzzzz's picture

Ah, sorry for posting in the wrong section! Thinking back on it I may have been inserting at an angle, so that might've done it. Appreciate the advice man!

tattoofreak's picture

Hey mate. I assume this is your first cycle? If it is, imo you got some kind of "mental pinning blockade". I really don't want to be a dick, but I think you're a very sensitive guy and i doubt that you're ready for a cycle? Try it again and if you got the same problem, you maybe should wait a year or two before starting a cycle...

Abzzzz's picture

Yeah man no worries,, no offense taken. If you can see my other post on my profile it has all the details of my cycle, but yes this is my first one and I've pinned maybe 12 times already, just for some reason it felt like I was too far in or too far at an angle, it was one of those instinctual feelings where you can tell something bad is going to happen if you go forward.

But you may be right,, it might be my nerves because I'm always afraid of hitting a nerve bro. Almost finished with this cycle so hopefully I won't have any issues when I try again. So far delts and chest have been wonderful to do though

tattoofreak's picture

Ok, mate. With your intro I thought it's your second injection overall. My fault. But I know this feeling. Some years ago I've hit nerves at my right thigh with almost each inject and at one point I couldn't pin there anymore, because I "knew" I would hit some nerves again.

GizmoDuck's picture

WTH you need a 1.5 in needle to pin your glutes for man??!!!

No!! Shoot why not just make it a full 2
Stick with 1 in.

And research where you need to inject

Abzzzz's picture

Hey man, not really sure what you mean but I'm assuming you mean my needle is too long, if that's the case then it'd make sense. I got advice from a friend on what sizes to get and after double checking I only have that size and a 5/8s lol

Yeah man looked at a bunch of guides on spots to inject but it still is kind of hard to tell personally. Appreciate the advice!

GizmoDuck's picture

Say you’re doing the left cheek. Bless the butt and go top left. Right, bless the butt and go top right. Just google man. For me, I rarely ever feel it go in. No homo

Abzzzz's picture

Thanks man!

tattoofreak's picture

Lol, agreed. A shorter one should be fine, too. He could pin his thighs. Imo easier for a beginner...

Abzzzz's picture

Makes sense man. But like I said above looks like I fucked up and only have the 1 1/2 and 5/8th ones. Should I just go for a thigh one? I heard it was easier to hit a nerve or something in the thigh.

Appreciate it man.

tattoofreak's picture

Yes, more chance to hit a nerve. But way easier to handle than glutes. For example I can't pin my glutes by myself, my wife has to do it for me. Smile

Abzzzz's picture

Lol yeah man it's hard doing it yourself. Thighs scare the shit out of me but if the needles too long I guess I don't really have a choice unless I want to cut my cycle short lol

Thanks man

GizmoDuck's picture

True. He might use a 4 in needle with that one.
