pain and swelling in leg
ad
Hey guys, I injected today in the top of my left thigh and now I'm having pain and swelling down by my knee on the left side of it.. It's nowhere neer where I injected.. I did work out after pinning and about an hour after that is when I started to notice the pain.. I asperated the needle and swabed with alcohol and everything I'm supposed to do.. I suppose it is possible that I somehowe injured that mustle at the gym, but I don't see how because I didn't work my legs.. Let me know if you think this is a problem guys. thanks

tread-mI'll add my 2 cents with one of my personal rules, never workout after you pin. I tend to pin a muscle group I'm not working out for at least 24 hours and it solves a lot of aches and pains I think. As a new user sometimes you are tight from nerves and dont even realize it, relax the muscle as much as you can. PIP happens either way for a new user but gets less frequent with each passing year as the muscles grow and get tougher (I might have it once a year now even using a lot of straight prop)...I think most of us went through the paranoia part of it, just a right of passage.
see i personally dont mind pinning the muscle im gonna work out for that day. For me it seems to work better sometimes. Only one that gets a little sore from working out after pinning is the delt but it aint that bad. I guess its all personal perference.
tread-mYeah you're right for sure on we're all different...me for example, if I pin glute with a good hit of prop and hit legs in the next hour it drills me (or used to, I dont anymore)! lol I can get away with delts now just because of the size and density I think. Dont even feel the prop in the delts anymore, or the pin for that matter. I think I had a few bad experiences with prop/glutes and lunges back in the day and just stopped working out right after a pop. I remember one which was probably 12 or 15 years ago where I hit glutes with a big hit of sauce and went to the gym and did legs and I could barely walk for a week! Now enanthate never bothered me at all in that way but I just got out of the habit after the bad experience.
yeah...delts are probably easiest to get away with for that reason and hell if i went through what you did i probably woudnt pin before a workout either.lol...then again ive only ever done enathate so its probably reason ive had no issue. Hmmm....im gonna do an experiment on myself and do a future cycle with prop. Who knows...maybe ill be back to say holy fuck.....you were right.lol....
tread-mohhhh...ok new plan! Yeah the trick with prop is run it in very slow and be real relaxed. Many new users swell with it...a cousin of mine for example looks like you cut an apple in half and put it on his delt after the pop with prop. I will tell you in advance that it is because of the oil/alcohol ratio so if you will add enough deca to where one third of the hit is deca and two thirds prop it will increase the oil to alcohol ratio and be much smoother. Yeah man you will love prop, true gains with the fast ester and no water retention at all. You have to hit it every 3 days because of the short half life and no long ester so if you hit 2cc's of enanthate for example weekly you would hit 2cc's of prop every 3 days which would be the same as your 2 cc's of enanthate, sustanon or cyp weekly. Good stuff though I know you will like it! I use it for my age between cycles as maintenance at a half cc every 3 days as well, kinda my pct. But I dont recommend that to young people, not smart if under say mid 30's since your test would recover off cycle.
tread-mOh and remember to order 3 times as much as you would the long esters highstrung since you use 3 times as much during a cycle. Nice thing too is you feel it in 6 hours so its kind of like taking an injectable viagra!
well ive been intrigued already by hlldbbdboy but now between you both....thanks alot...now i gotta replan next cycle. lol...
I get that occasionally, I have it in both legs right now, its called pip. I don't let it bother me too much, chalk it up to good juice good dose, kinda like when my tits are sore. I celebrate that shit, good indication your on good stuff. I'm gonna try different sites to pin and see if I get pain in those areas as well.

i have pinned my leg so many times and all over from the bottom in the big pat of the tear drop all the way up to inner quad outer quad etc....if you hit a nerve will surly know it. i hit a nerve once where my leg kiced so bad i damn near broke my big toe on the coffee table..lol...i just remember roughly where not go now. As far as veins....im lucky to be very vascular....i pretty much have my raod map on my legs mesmorized now but before i would do a good workout the day before i would pin to get extra vascular and look where my veins where. so the following day i could remember where not go. only twice did i get a sore leg and both times is when i stuck down by tear drop. Since going there once it hasnt been an issue since but i have alot of muscle on my legs. Unlike alot of people i see in the gym.....i actually do my legs. lol...
Yeah I got it a couple of times, I never dart it as I touched a nerve once and if I'd darted I'm pretty sure it would have been MUCH worse.
It's weird I used to get odd sensations in the leg but near the knee etc. I find if I stay quite high on the quad then I rarely hit anything uncomfortable. I put my hand on the outside of my leg with the wrist at the top of my hip then pin about an inch below the tip of my index finger seem to miss everything there.
I wonder if the injection (oil), got placed close to a nerve, and it just took 8 hours for the pressure on the nerve to relax.
that sounds like a possibility..
It happens to me as well, not really sure why it does that.it can almost feel like a pulled muscle. Could it be the shot or the oils settling? I have no clue.
Jab.
Yea I don't know bro.. I just woke up and it feels better.. but yea it felt like I pulled a mustle
Stick to the glute's,have you juiced before
this was my 3rd injection bro.. first two where smooth and fine.. I can do the glue but I only have 1" pinns .. is that enough for the glue?
I don't know,how large are you in the area.You need to get deep enough past the 1st layer of tissue,to be safe I'm gonna say no.If I wanna give bad advise I'd tell you that I have used 1" pin's for the glute,by pressing them very hard against my skin and getting deeper by pushing a delve.This is dangerous however and your not gonna do it,are you lol
yea I dono.. My original plan was to pin the glute but then I read you should use a 1.5" pin for that and I was like ouch.. I also read you can use a 1" for the thigh or delt ect.. thats why I just decided to by one inchers and go with the thigh lol.
Yeah I've never been in the thigh,I use the delt though
No 1 1/2" is no problem bud,I don't feel as much in the glute tbh and you won't feel it swallow it all buddy
It happends a lot in the thigh. This is why i switched to pinning in the gluts. A lot less pain there.
IT happens from time to time. Next time try to inject as far away from the knee, but still in up upper, outer quadrant if that makes sense. OR put your thumb on your hip of whatever leg you're injecting, extend it as far as possible into the upper outer quadrant and try to inject in that vicinity. Good luck!
Is that the technique you use for the leg as well,I know that's for the glute.I was shown by a nurse how to do the glute properly
thanks man.. I'm so glad to have eroids..
