Beyond PIP
ad
About a week ago I pinned left V glute. It has been swollen and painful ever since. Seemed like regular pip and then did a leg day and couldn't put much pressure on my leg. Could barely get my socks on. There is no fever, red streaks, no pus. I really don't think it's an infection. It is very slowly getting better. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this. The oils I'm pinning aren't new. I regularly pin the left V glute. I occasionally get a lot knot but this is a different level.

I hope your not trolling me. Lol it's pretty obvious which side now that I see it from that angle. But no fever, not hot, no pus, no streaking. Just tenderness, swelling, mild radiating pain. I try to avoid nsaids but Ibuprofen helps tremendously.
What compound, what size/gauge needle, and how often do you pin that spot ?
"Regularly" doesn't say much.
Test E 300 (1/2cc) Deca 300 (1/2cc) NPP 100 (1cc). Test and deca from usroid and NPP from kits. I draw with a different needle and use a fresh 25g 1" luer lock syringe every injection. I do pin frequently right now to keep the NPP saturated. Like every other day. I gotta start finding other places to pin. I stiyhad a tiny lump and tried to get the syringe beside the lump.
Your problem is volume and frequency. That’s 2 ml to vent. Some guys that’s fine, others that’s kinda pushing it. But pinning same area every other day, is WAY too often. You definitely need to start rotating around. Smaller muscles, just 1ml. I try not to pin same area at minimum 5-7 days to heal. You are building up scar tissue fast and inviting sterile abscess as well.
Also the high concentration oils aren’t helping.
Golden advice.
^^^^agree. 2cc is a chunk for me. 10point rotation and 1.5max in big spots. 1cc in delts etc...small spots
For me it comes down to brand. Need to pin 3.5ml e3d from tomorrow as I’ve added mast e 150. Only pin in 4 sites (glutes and delts) might have to try lats again. Can’t do quads.
3.5 will abscess. Great times.
Thank
You for your continued support and optimism. Read this one hour before u have to pin. To Duke Jockstrap I hereby leave all my alcohol pads so that his body and not just his mind will always be sanitary
Same. Even with big glute, soon as I get close to the 2ml mark, the “sting” really starts…..
I can pin 0.5-1ml just about anywhere. No calves.
