I'm a moron. I pinned my calves
So I pinned my calves. VERY CAREFULLY. I was experimenting with new injection spots, because well I ran out of spots. This sustanon 350 I got has pip like a SOB. I've tried everything. I split it 50/50 with filtered cottonseed oil to dumb down the concentration, i heat the vial up. I inject slow and take my time. still I bruise.
I inject my delts and my glutes with test.
I like doing my lats with non painful gear like my EQ and Primo. I have great lats and have never had a problem. in fact it's my favorite spot for long chain esters.
So I have decent calves, I learned proper protocol...or so I thought. I laid down on a big pillow and pinned 45 angle into my gastrocnemius. This was obviously WRONG.
Long story short, I couldn't walk for 4 days. My left has healed, but my right is swollen and looks like a pineapple. I don't know if calves are safe, or if it's just my stupid sustanon. I might feel comfortable pinning my EQ there. I literally had to crawl to the bathroom on all fours. and the first night I screamed my head off. my neighbors probably think i'm a schizo.
I remembered RICE, Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate. I found immense relief after I put a knee wrap around my calf today. Significantly less pain, but it may have trapped the blood in the area, it doesn't hurt as much but it's swollen as hell now and it's starting to itch.
I went to the drug store and bought a cane. I look like Dr. House, old guy with a beard and a cane. It's infuriating. it's more drama than shakespeare, I'm no pussy, but I can't stand up straight or I start crying.
No pain meds available. took 6 advil a day. I'm sure my liver is FUCKED.
because of this I've decided to stop my cycle at 10 weeks and PCT 2 weeks earlier. I'm very proud that I know when to stop because of stupidity/mistake; I will not keep going and end up with permanent damage.
Got a doctor visit tomorrow, still trying to figure out what to say. Maybe I overdid it on calf raises?
I was afraid of sharing this stupidity on the forum, but I need to be honest with myself and maybe there's a lesson here somewhere.

AnonYour not the first or the only one.... I have pinned them while running shorts test tren npp and ye I had pip and limp alot the first couple weeks of that cycle.... Running short esters is tough, I don't run them as much as I use to
Yup!, i know that kind of pain
Most of you know how injecting winny hurts like shit and you can't pin the same spot twice, so i managed to pin it ED in differnet spot, i have tried glutes, quads, bis, tris and calves
A cane! Lmao, sorry the visual is too much. Lmao!!
ha ha pricless
Nice play bro
Better than a walker bro.
I would never ever pin my calves.
Hard to look pimp with a walker.
Yea I guess so, but you could pimp it out with those tennis balls on the feet bro.
can i have some karma for laughs? I'll be your bestest friend for everest. Trying to hit 50
Post up a self shot. You don't got one.
Can't. I have identifying marks
Some people are OK pinning calves. Roid Noid if I remember correctly used to like using them
bigmurphThis might not be the biggest help but 800mg of ibuprofen will work better for the pain. That sucks I personally stick to my upper legs and glutes because its the spots i can handle. Do you think the gear you pinned had bad pip to begin with because you say that you pin primo with no problem which I have read the right primo has no pip but most do. Either way i feel for you brother.
You are not the only one. Once I pinned test prop to both calves 1cc each. What an idiot. Could not walk for a week. My calves are lagging behind but for that week I had huge swollen calves. Nice to look at it but it felt like someone beat them with a baseball bat
I've been tempted to try it in the calves just cause I'm a sicko myself but never had the stones. I'm almost exclusive in the thighs these days. I can't even really handle the delt's. Thanks for keeping me off the ledge mate.
can i beg for karma?
IDK, PS your name is super creepy- are you Buck from kill bill?
calves are notoriously painful. i have used them on and off as needed, never more than 1 or 1.5ml in each calf. if the gear has a bite to it already, i have no doubt you are in a world of pain.
if your concerned, its never a bad idea to visit the doctor like you have planned, but you have to be honest. telling him you over did it on calf raises wont get you antibiotics if you have an infection. if you used sterile technique though its probably not infected just super inflamed, but always better safe than sorry brother.
have a lot of antibiotics on hand. Never had an infection. I was looking for painkillers. and a magical anti inflammatory
Bro. Calves are safe but not optimal due to how thick the muscle fiber is and how small of a muscle it is. I go from largest to smallest. Glutes, quads, delts rear delt , front delt, lat delt, lats, chest, traps, bis,tris, hams (not for the weak hearted or small hams) then Calves and forearms. In all honesty you shouldn't have to pin more then an ml or an ml and a half per injection period by utilizing all sites. With my body fat I don't need anything bigger then a 5/8s pin or inch. I NEVER pin high ml gear or any guaicol or harsh solvents not approved for intra muscular injections. Virgin muscle will usually always hurt too.
Damn hitting all those spots really requires some serious skills. I'm doing only quads, middle delts and glutes. I was tempted to try chest for a long time but it freaks me out a bit. You could probably get licenced as a registered nurse lol
It's really not too bad. I can pin most but the wife does what I cant for me. An in all honesty the average user doesn't need them all. The only time you need to utilize them all is numerous short injections like if your prepping or if your running a good amount of oil and aren't a fucking moron pinning 3ccs or more in one shot. You might get away with it for a long time but those big ml shots do damage and can cause a sterile abscess.
I pinned my quads ONCE. never again. I hit a nerve and was in so much pain for weeks. I've done tris.
attempted traps, and chest but couldn't stick it.
I wish I knew how to pin my quads better.
I actually split the test dose and put half into each calf. so it was only .5 cc each.
If you do calves, do you try to hit the back (soleus) or do you hit the sides (gastrocnemius)
since I have a mod...Can you please check out my post in the RULES forum? I have a question about a future post and want to make sure it's okay.
Must have been unlucky shot, quads are my favorite spot. Large muscle and easliy accessible.
when you do your quads do you sit down or do you stand?
Gastrocnemius
