Depends, is it still numb now?
kind of, its been about an hour its not as bad as b4 but still definatley not normal
did it bleed?
Which muscle did you inject into? Was size needle was it (gauge and length,) and did you hit a vein or nerve going in (feel any major pain or twitches?)
This will help a lot.
i hit a vein first go, i know this because i always aspirate to be safe, second go their was no blood when i aspirated so i injected, using a 23g pin side of my arm above and inbetween my bi and tri, i forget what the muscle is called but ive always injected that spot on previous cycles without any prob
just checked my box of pins their 23g 1 1/4 long, had i light twitch aswell when i got about .6 of a ml in
Sounds to me like you hit a nerve.

nerve
did this with a quad shot and it was numb and tingly like that for 6 months. i'm guessing nerve but feeling came back totally. doesn't sound like yours will be as bad as mine though.
I am can help you here. I am in medicine and have my own practice.
You DEFINATELY have hit a nerve OR injected your gear right around it.
I have had many posts on here about people blindly injecting themselves where ever they want without any regard for what may lie underneath. They just go and do it anyway then come complaining they can't feel their leg etc.
Listen, people really need to learn to inject safely BEFORE doing so, and quite frankly I see many BAD BAD ideas in posts here. Tri, traps (the worst), calves....all bad ideas. Bi's too as you could hit your median nerve easily.
Everyone PLEASE for your own good, research this (and not just on steroid sites cause there's tons of crappy info on just about every site). Nursing info is good. Maybe getting a chart of nerves would be good, then you can see for yourself what I'm talking about.
Personally I do glutes (over the hip region only) and outer quad only cause I know better.
Ya you DID hit one for sure.Quote:
