strange pinning experience

ad

I was going to pin my left delt yesterday and as I put in the pin it hurt like a bitch. I mean bad, to the point that I didn't pin it. So I thought maybe I have a bad needle, swapped out the pin and hit the right delt. Wasn't any better, my left hand, that I was using to push down the plunger began to shake bad. I started sweating bad and got light headed. I was able to pull the pin out before I risked snapping it or passing out. I sat down for a few minutes and felt much better. I finished the pin later in my glute and had no problem. Anyone else have a similar experience

My cycle is 300mg 2x a week of test e and this is my 7 week. Nothing like this has happened the other times I hit my delts. I pin both delts and my right glute. Havent worked up the comfort level to hit other areas yet. Any idea what may have caused this. Thanks to all for any input.

As far as I know it is scar tissue I know what your talking about nerv pain is different. Some days do also seem to be more sensitive than others also.

Try a heating pad for 5-10 minutes to warm everything up. Ive noticed pain with " slow " insertion as well. I typically try and get in and get out, no bullshit.

I'll give it a shot. I just thought it was strange being my 7th week and it's been all smooth sailing.

Sounds like you may have hit a nerve or scar tissue. Wierd that it happened on both sides. You may have just psyched yourself out after the first pin. I have had issue's similar with my quads.. Rotate sites if your pinning the same sites over and over you could be building up scar tissue. Also make sure you move the pin over a little bit on the sites that you are pinning in order to not hit the same spot over and over.

What size needles are you using?

Try pinning quads. They are the easiest spot to pinn. Also start tapping that left cheek. Just try not to think about. Just a little poke and push. :-)

I got the right side down, left side seems a bit awkward to hit being right handed.

I thought it may be scar tissue but I assumed that would happen over a much longer period of time. As for the abscess I don't have any pain or discoloring in ether delt. As a matter of fact after I pinned them previously, it felt like I did nothing at all. Thank you for the unput, I will monitor the area to see if anything changes.
