I ended up getting cellulitis got treated with IV antibiotics took care of it and now its just slightly sore, finally got back in to the gym today i've pinned my ass two times since my thigh injection and have had no problems gunna stick with the glutes.
Ive had that before. Sounds like bad PIP and test flu. Foreign substances trying to be destroyed by your immune system. I dont know what you pinned but if you are newer to AAS, push too much, dont work that muscle, shoot dehydrated muscle, etc, lots of things can cause it. Assuming you followed proper sterile injection protocal then its probably just a tender muscle over reacting. Im telling you ive had it where my leg is crippled. There was a hard knot in the injection site and i coudlnt move it, bend it, lift it, nothing. When its been really bad and along with test flu I pop a few ibuprofen and take a hot bath with mint soap. (no homo) It realxees you, slight minty anesthetic, and warms the blood.
I Remember My First Shot In The Thigh, I Must Not Have Plunged It In All The Way. The Oil Seeped Out Between The Muscle And The Skin. It Pooled Up Right Above The Kneecap. Bad Times Lol. I Was Dragging My Leg All Week.
And another thing is I haven't been able to make it to the gym since Tuesday was only able to work chest and back this week. I'm thinking about going today with a wheel chair and doing some delts
Guys I had to go to the ER they wanted to admit me because of possible cellulitis my skin is red and swollen. They gave me oral antibiotics and it's still not really going down, I injected again in my glutes on Thursday and have had barely any problems just slightly sore. Anyone know if I should go back to the ER?
If I could give you a +1 for moving on to the next pin, I would. Most who have an issue on their first pin the likes of which your are dealing with give up. That's what we do here. Create our own experiences, learn from it, and move on. I guarantee you'll advise a newb on this situation down the road.
If you've got the $ go hit on the nurses, otherwise steer clear, bubba.
It's either:
A. Your gear (ugl, who hadn't figured his shit out, yet).
B. You're over-reacting, & It's just pip. (I've had pip from one pin of reg dosed prop last a week or so.)
C. If you're not running a fever, & the area isn't red squishy. Leaving an indention when you press. You're fine... Imho
I doubt it the gear I got recieved countless reviews on here with nearly no pip. I was running a fever of 100.7, but it has since gone down since I've been taken the anti biotics the skin is still red but other then that seems to be getting better
Before my first pin I read everything as I'm sure you have. I dreaded this PIP thing everyone was talking about. I followed all the advice that has been given you over the last day or so... then... I did it...
What? That was it? Where's the PIP? I was so glad I prepared because that was nothing!
Then a few hours later someone hit me in the leg with a baseball bat. -At least that's what it felt like.
Not to worry, everything is as it should be.
The severity of your PIP after each pin will diminish over time.
It gets to the point you won't even notice it.
Relax it is because you have been on it all day. The edema water retention is the bodies way of protecting it. If the shot site isn't mushy and you don't have a fever you are ok.
Ibuprofen,elevate leg while sleeping or sitting,Heating pad,and my favorite is a wife to cry to to get you things because your leg hurts so bad. If it gets real bad you need to start to the bathroom early when yo need to piss.
hahaha best of luck with that, mine has no pity whatsoever - she says shes not gonna feel bad for me because i did it to myself and thats what i signed up for. best thing for me has been to slowly massage the site in circles for a solid two mins afterwards, it makes a world of difference
Did you heat the oil? Also any new substance into virgin territory can do this even if your technique was flawless. Use plunger control meaning push the oil in at a very stead slow pace without moving the needle around. Make sure you check to see if you are flexing your leg even in the slightest as this will cause more muscle trauma. Oh yeah thighs have to be one of the highest areas for nerves. I would advise that you resist the temptation to massage the are as it can cause the oil to dissipate into the fat cells rather then remain in the muscle for better absorption. Last but not least this is just one of the cons of using gear that must be embraced and loved lol. Hope you heal quickly.
At a boy on your first pin. Welcome to Supermanville. Keep a close eye on it and pop some ibuprofen. Expect 2-4 days. Here's the kicker, now you know the pain and you HAVE to stick the other leg on Thursday. Anything worth having is going to cost some pain. Good luck on #2.
yea man thats what i was gonna say in my last post, didnt read all the way thru tho. quads have by far been the most painful sites for me, and avoid them completely unless cycle calls for ED injections. i pin e3d with long esters, and rotate thru both glutes and both delts, no quads for me sir lol
That happened to me on my first pin. Could hardly bend my leg at all. Stayed like that for a couple days. Its just a virgin muscle. Itll hurt the first couple of times. Youll get a lot less pip after a few times. Tylenol helped a lot.
Heat & aspirin, bubba. Take a hot bath, when you get home, & repeat heating pad/aspirin. I also massage it, sometimes. There might not be much you can do. Ugl Prop?
I think this is where I went wrong I pushed all the oil through pretty much immediately I knew to inject slow I guess I freaked out once it was in and just pushed it all thru to fast

try getting some filtered sterile GSO to dilute your gear if you're planning on pinning more sites than just your quad. this will help tremendously.
How's the peg leg today?
sterility is key!
Try Glute next time!
Workout after you pin!
Do not massage the area at all!
Use 1in for delts; use 1.5inch for glutes or quads; either 23/25g needles
Before my first pin I read everything as I'm sure you have. I dreaded this PIP thing everyone was talking about. I followed all the advice that has been given you over the last day or so... then... I did it...

tLAMARwThanks Greg, guess I'm over reacting. I just work a manual labor job for 40 hours a week and I can barely walk.
tLAMARwEveryone I just got home and noticed my leg is swollen on the outside of my thigh it almost feels like it's filled with water
Relax it is because you have been on it all day. The edema water retention is the bodies way of protecting it. If the shot site isn't mushy and you don't have a fever you are ok.
tLAMARwOkay, thanks.
RustyhookerDid you pin before bed? I pin early morning so I'm moving all day.
tLAMARwYes I did pin before bed but never again haha
Ibuprofen,elevate leg while sleeping or sitting,Heating pad,and my favorite is a wife to cry to to get you things because your leg hurts so bad. If it gets real bad you need to start to the bathroom early when yo need to piss.
tLAMARwMy girls coming over right now I'm gunna milk the hell out of it haha
lol i always made my girl massage my ass, and tell her i pulled something squating
hahaha best of luck with that, mine has no pity whatsoever - she says shes not gonna feel bad for me because i did it to myself and thats what i signed up for. best thing for me has been to slowly massage the site in circles for a solid two mins afterwards, it makes a world of difference

tLAMARwThanks for the information! Yes I did heat the oil. Next time I'm just going to go for the glutes and inject much slower
Yes and study how to X off the glutes so you don't hit your sciatic nerve it will make your current leg pain seem like a tropical vacation lol.

tLAMARwI think I'm going for glute next haha

tLAMARwThanks, guess ill just deal with the pain just sucks I stand at work all night
How often are you pinning and of what?
tLAMARwThis was my first pin ever. And I'm doing Monday Thursday test cyp
next time you pin do it in your non dominate tricep. If you get pip or infection you still can walk.
sgtstedankoHeat & aspirin, bubba. Take a hot bath, when you get home, & repeat heating pad/aspirin. I also massage it, sometimes. There might not be much you can do. Ugl Prop?
tLAMARwIt's test cyp 250 from a top source. I'm just making sure I shouldn't be worried and it's normal.
Try injecting slow.
tLAMARwI think this is where I went wrong I pushed all the oil through pretty much immediately I knew to inject slow I guess I freaked out once it was in and just pushed it all thru to fast
Oh yeah, Rule #1- Don't freak out
