    Quad Pain

    Hey guys, I need some advice. I'm about 6 weeks into a cycle and I had been injecting in the glutes and delts. I decided a needed a new spot to hit so I shot 2 cc's of test enanthate into my quad. Everything went well until about 2 hours later. It started as mild discomfort, by that night it hurt pretty bad, and as of now I can't walk and I have missed two days of work. It hurts from the top of my thigh all the way down to the top of my knee. It is slightly red, hot to the touch, and very hard. I followed all precautions when I injected, and I researched so I know I did it in the right spot. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Different people love/hate different locations. Most love quad shots, but for me it only takes 1ml to make me feel like a cripple. Considering that you shot 2ml your first time, try cutting it to 1ml next time. Some peoples bodies adjust to the injections over time, if yours doesn't then I'd avoid quads.

    Bro I dont even get close to quad with a needle anymore, did it twice and could barely get out of bed. You'll be fine it will just take a little time to work itself out.

    That's good to hear. I have been hobbling around for two days wondering if my leg was going to fall off. How long do you guys think this will last? Any suggestions to speed up my recovery from this? I am competing in a powerlifting meet this weekend. If it still feels like this, I will have to withdraw. I will NEVER shoot in my quad again!!!

    quad is an easy spot to do tho mate, just hurts at first it took me a good 3-4 days for the pain to lessen lol, just take it easy and try not to use it much (dont try squatting):P

    No way on the squats bro! I can barely make it to the bathroom to pee. LOL Hopefully it will clear up by Saturday. Thanks for the replies. On a side note, this was my first post and I am amazed how quickly I was able to get advice on this forum. I appreciate it. I know where to come from now on.

    Depends on the BA content in the enanthate you are taking. I did test cyp in the quads by iteself and was sore for 1 day after, did another cycle with enan that must have had high BA and was sore for 3 days. I found that EQ is a blessing, I like the results from it and it cuts down the BA so now I am not sore at all from test enan injects. I am putting about 2.5 cc's in my quads, 25g needle, very slow inject and never hurt the next day, 1.25ml EQ (200mg/ml) mixed with 1.25ml test enan (250mg/ml).

    Yea, I like injecting my delts. The only time I had any pain from hitting the delts was when I did a T-400 cycle. I'm sure glad I did not inject 2ml of T-400 in my quad. (OUCH!) I used a 22g pin.
