Have I found scar tissue?

ad

I've only done one cycle and am currently on my second one. Also, I only pin my thighs and occasionally, ventrogluteal.

The thing is I usually pin on the outer side of the thigh and recently switched to the center part of it. What I've found is that, although the injection is mostly painless (when I manage to insert it without hitting a vein, which is almost never), it becomes a little difficult to insert the pin: I push, and push and the pin doesn't enter and when it eventually does, it does it all of a sudden and I get the feeling that I'm breaking through something. I swear I can almost hear a sound as the needle goes in, like fibers breaking.

It's not necessarily more painful or anything, just wondering if this is what one feels when injecting through scar tissue. Why would it even be there, I don't know either...

Also, what to do if you find out you have developed scar tissue?

Yeah, kind of. It just doesn't make sense to me that it could be scar tissue in my case when I haven0t been injecting for that long in that area.

I used to pin my forarms a lot 5 or 6 times a day for over a year and the same thing happened to me and I always assumed it was scar tissue and also saw a show on A&E about a heroin addict who would have to back into a wall in order for the pin to go in because he had pinned his body so much. Iam not sure how to get rid of it but I have heard of guys going to a chiropractor to beak up scar tissue in people backs and shoulders but not sure if its the same thing

Wow, that's all pretty hardcore. About the possibility of having a chiropractor work on the scar tissue to break it down, I happen to have a chiropractor friend, so I'll ask him and post here with his answer.
