Thigh PIP
ad
Pinned thigh/quad Friday had no pip. Until now. My question is if this is normal in thigh/quad pins to feel PIP a few days later

AnonHaez91, were you born in 1991?
Nope just a number I use
UPnSMOKETotally normal. Quads always give me tho most problems. Tris get a lil rough too but I don't need to use them to walk. Heat up the gear and invest in a hot water bottle. Take a warm shower and soak the site. Benadryl helps with swelling or Tylenol. Advil. That sort of thing. Be slow and steady when inserting the needle. Don't play with it and move it all around. Inject nice and slow. Pally some pressure after inject and don't massage to much. Use water bottle after and let it sit for a few minutes. Hit a nice hot shower after and hope it doesn't still hurt later. Normally for me good day of inject. Sore the next and any real pip is in full effect by two days post injection. At least for me personally. Sometimes there is zero at all.
The pip isn't too bad,but my knee swells every time.
I usually don't get PIP the first day on any injection site so I'd say it's fairly normal.
Yeah its definitely possible. I'm speaking from experience, I have no medical knowledge on this matter, but I have had the same thing happen to me. If I pin high quad I usually don't have any problems...unless I go to deep with the needle. I used to use 1.5 inch pins and I've stuck one all the way in thinking it wouldn't be a big deal. But, a few days down the road I had some serious PIP. I don't know what size pins you use, but I suggest using 1" so you can't go too deep.
I used a 1" pin. My leg did twitch twice while the pin was in tht could have caused some pain. It is also very cold where I am tat so that may add to it thanks for the feedback man!
