need some knowledgeable advice
Ok guys ive been pinning in the glutes for about two years, not straight with proper breaks, and with adding frequency and additional compounds my ass needed a break. So I pinned in thigh about a hand above the knee and to the right side. Right in the meaty ball when I flex. The shot went very smooth and I had no pain, went to gym and work so I was on my feet all night. Went to bed woke up midnight with it throbbing and swelled up not at injection spot but at top of knee cap.I cant put weight on it. Ive been using this oil for about a month with no problems.I clean tops of viles and my inject spot. And it was a new 23gauge pin. Shot 2.5ml sust and Npp100. So question is did I hit a nerve should I be going to hospital? What can do to help. Tried rubbing it and heating pad.
THANKS GUYS

Shit, after I read this thread I pinned quad as I normally do and an hour after my pin I started to feel pain as the OP described. Alot of pressure above the knee cap and pain like I got hit with a bat. No pain at all near injection site. No redness or fever. It has been 2 days since my pin and this shit hurts. I am aplying heat and using a foam roller to hopefully spead this oil out. But unlike OP I have no hard knot just puffyness above the knee cap. Would ice be good for the swelling/puffyness? Never had this issue with quads but have had an issue with a knot in the glutes applied heat and rolled it out as advised. Hellboy how long did the pain last?
Bro I didnt have a "hard knot", just a bubble were the ool settled above knee cap. It took about a week to be fully better but for first two days I could barely walk.
I kept it elevated as much as possible I slept on my back with my foot on a pile of pillows and the heating pad on it every chance I could I even slept with it for lile three nights. I used an empty pill bottle and my hand and pushed the oil away from my knee it hurt like he'll but helped. It the pain was like 9 on a 1-10 scale the first day.
Just baby it do the heat and keep an eye on it you should be fine. If it gets red and warm to touch id worry about infection, but other then that ride it out youll be fine next week oh yeah some one made a comment about 1,600mg of ibuprofen. That took the edge off.
Good shit bro...yeah the pain is intense haha. I have been rolling it with a foam roller. Yesterday and today a little tough to walk but after a few hours of having it elevated and heating pad I can walk with out a serious "pirate leg" haha. Thanks for starting the forum bro. Yeah havent used any pain relievers yet but thats gonna happen first thing in the morn when I go to work. Hoping its better or atleas tolerable by thursday for my vacation. Thanks again brother.
take the ibuprofen at night and itll be a lot better in the AM
Thanks brother
Fr excepted. Good luck. Ha ive been back to pinning in the ass im scared to try the thigh again. Funny thing is before the oil ran it didn't hurt at all it was a very smooth pain free pin and much easier to see then glute shots.
Yeah im thinking twice about pinning quad again..ive done it atleast 50x without a problem.
Hey wanted to thank everyone. My knee is not Better yet but its getting better. The throbbing and swelling has gone down, and some of the oil dissipated. Keep in it elevated and the heating pad on it seemed to help the most. I did take some advil but im on some orals right now (dbol, prov, and an ai.) So I try not to take anything else unless I have too. After it being elevated and heat in it ive been massaging the oil lump up away from my knee as much as I can stand touching it. Thanks guys for all the good advice from everyone in the eriods family.
1600mg ibuprofen every 6 hours always does the trick for me.
Sounds like some of the oil leaked out of the muscle and drained down towards your knee. You didn't hit a nerve, you will know it if you ever do. Raise your injection site a little higher on your thigh next time and be sure to leave the needle in for at least ten seconds after you're done pushing in the oil and might want to try injecting a little slower too. Just a couple tips to keep this from happening again. Some oil leaked out on me once with a delt injection. Two ml of test e and it seems like it took a week or so for the swelling and pain to subside. Just give it some time. Good luck.
RustyhookerYou even read my pip forum?
Yes I did, I believe I had book marked it. And the spot inject link that someone just posted I was very close to one of the spots they show there. Mayb I explained it bad. If my finger tips were at the top of my knee cap about were my wrist is then to the right a bit? Ill go back to you post and 're read it mayb I missed something. It has no pain were I pinned at all the pain and swelling is below the Injection spot right above my knee cap.ill try to figure out how to post a picture.
RustyhookerYour lymph systen probably got pissed. Sounds like too low on outer quad. Standing straight, the fingertips will touch the goot area midway between knee and hip. On a complex cycle I'll hit that as spot #1. 6days later 2in above or below. Too close to knee or piss off lymph and it's stiff legging. Heat helps with bloodflow. And seated pinning of course relaxes muscles.
I had this happen, but was with test-e. I shot, everything was fine. Then over the next 2 days the top of my knee was swollen and red, a day later it was hot to the touch. I ended up having an infection, went to the er and got antibiotics.. So best advice Incan give you is monitor it, if it progressively gets worse, go see a doctor. Is there any redness or heat, or is it just swelling
There is NO redness , not hot to touch. I am pretty clean and careful. I wipe tops with alcohol and I clean the spot on me good and it was a new pin. And the point I draw it with isnt the one I use to pin so its sharp and new. It feels like the oils ran to right above my knee cap and had no were to go. Knees swollen and throbbing. I can deal with a good bit of pain and I cant walk on it. Keeping it elevated and the heating pad is taking the edge off. Thank you
When i hit a nerve (or get close to it), I can feel an involutary twitch in the muscle. A heating pad and some ibuprofen should take care of it. Hope this helps:

Thanks brother I used a heating pad and elevated my leg all day until work. And tried to massage the oil up into the muscle away from the knee cap. Its still terrible to walk on but it was better atleast before I got to work and on my feet for a couple hours.
Quad injections should be mid-point between greater trochanter and the lateral aspect of the knee in the VLO. So, instead of one hand, use two, then move lateral and alcohol off area, let dry, stick, aspirate, and inject.
Your knee hurts because the oil dissipated and gravity caused the oil to flow down. Raise up your injection site, and let us know how you are doing.
Thanks you for advice. I am laying with my leg up on a pile of pillows and heating pad on it.
No problem. Ready gave some good advice too...
