Interesting info on calf injects

Here's a copy of a post by 40butpumpin over at Steroid Support, originally posted at Elite. Something to think about before you stick your calves again, for those who have.

"Injecting into the calf has unique risk that most people arent aware of. The problem is that there are numerous veins below the knee that empty to the popliteal vein (A DEEP VEIN). Some of you may read my posts on cardiac test I run injecting air into the vein to assess cardiac structure and that is not a problem if you get an air bubble in the vein. But This is slightly different if you inject through and damage or inject enough to compress a calf vein, then the blood flow may be interrupted enough to cause clot formation. The lowerlegs are not that good at moving blood and leave them vulnerable to clot. I had a young pt that had a stroke that formed in his calf b/c of trauma from a surfboard hitting the back of his leg and travelled up his vascular system across a small hole in his heart and up to the brain. This can also cause clot to form and the leg will swell and usually feel warm to the touch. THe clot can literally grow up the calf veins into the deep veins called DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS. NBC reporter David Bloom died of that in Iraq when clot travelled up to his lungs and kills nearly as much as heart attacks in th US. Shooting in the calf can put you at a small risk for this and should avoided. If your leg is swollen go to your doctor or ER. They'll do a test called a leg venous duplex to rule out clot. Basically they use ultrasound to see of there is clot in the calves, I used to do it all the time and is noninvasive. Do ayourself a favor, if its swollen, warm to the touch, and some redness then get it checked out. Dont inject into the calf, the risk is small, but its not worth the risk, Ive seen people get these from sittin too long, long airplane rides, etc...It does happen."

[956Vette]

****, never heard about that. thanks moto! I guess ill think twice before injecting my calfs again.

[eshestun]

i just can't imagine injecting in the calf

[motoxxxguy]

It's not too bad, but I don't think I'll do it again! Not worth that risk.

Wow.... I hit each calf once a week........... When I hit a vein it's always in my calfs.

Good post.

[Mr. Sparkle]

I was going to try calves some time next week. I have small calves so I figure the risk is greater. Looks like ill stick to whats working so far

I always hit the calves....Hmmm

[Mart651]

I always hit the calves....Hmmm

I did calves five years ago, never again. I didn't know about the veins but it hurt like hell for two days and i missed a leg day.

[animal-inside]

hmmm i love shooting in calves..... onme of my fav....... not anymore...... thanks moto

[Pinch]

if you think about it calves are pretty much the same as forearms... and nobody shoots their forearms

[ripsid]

Just gives me another excuse besides being scared as hell to hit my calves

[Diesel]

I hit my calf all the time and have never hit a vein.

Something to think about though.

[hybrid]

good read bro. wasn't planning on hitting my calves and this just backs it up with science.

[Gilster]

I stopped doing calfs after the first few times aWHILE ago..I couldn't walk for a couple days without pain afterwards..Now I got an even better reason.

[Dude-Man]

why doesn't anyone do forearms? the veins are all visible enough..

[Ntpadude]

**** I injected into my calves 5 times and twice had my legs/foot swell up... its gone now but now I definately wont shoot them again after reading this.

[Jdawg50]

My calf eas miseable this last time. I'm done witht hte calf

I've seen bro's hit the forearms.

[Pinch]

too many tendons and **** you could hit.. there are lots of seperate forearms muscles

[rococo]

Hmmm never considered shooting in calves anyway... figured you had to have some muscle there to start with instead of just shooting into a tendon! :P

[krafty1]

Calves are just plain painfull to shoot into without all the possible problems. I ran a few amps of Winny through there and ended up with a swollen calve with what looked like a superficial clot 6" long. Not to mention the pain of walking was unreal for the next week. Never again.

[legend]

just thinking of calves hurts me. i thought of calves 100 times but never had the nuts to try it. now i am happy for my small nads !!

[nevaenuf]

Good post

[CutUp]

****...calves WERE my fav. spot to hit, oh well

[Cleaner13]

hey thanks for the info

calves were my favorite too, they seemed to soak up the gear in no time and I never had a problem with them

[BigGreen]

[profbiv]

[THE PUMP]

Good read bro il be staying away from calf from now on.

[RUDY-14]

When I did my first cycle (so stupid and uniformed) I had someone inject into my calfs and to this day (It was three years ago) I have problems, my calfs cramp up unbeliably even just from wlaking and I can't do seated calf raises anymore either bc of the brutal cramping I get. When I was playing hockey I had to get the trainers to massage my calfs for half an hour before games and during the intermissions so I could skate it f ucking sucked. Don't know for sure ifit was the injections but it started happening right after the first injection! Just thought i'd share my personal experence with shooting in teh calfs. Peace

[TheSevnthWarrior]

****, never heard about that. thanks moto! I guess ill think twice before injecting my calfs again.

Crap...I've never had a problem...But then David Bloom never did either, and he wasn't doin' 14-21 shots a week either.......Between Prop, Tren , and usually a longer ester as well, and the occasional HCG , it's hard not to......but after reading that, I think I'll figure it out!
Good Read, Thanks Moto!
