injection contraction

Sometimes when shooting you hit a nerve which makes your muscle contract. Is it necessary to pull the needle back out and shoot in a different spot, or is it ok to shoot if the needle has already passed through the nerve.

This ususally only happens to me when I inject into the quads, my muscle spasms or twitches while Im putting the needle in but I dont move it to a different spot. I know it feels weird at first but now it doesn't even bother me

I only do quads like today. I injected 3 cc's of test. I jabbed and felt a slight pain. Pulled out and moved it approx 1" and then had no problem. You could do what i did a few weeks ago and get real close to the sciatic nerve oer something and inject. First time I ever needed crutches to walk with in 40 years. Have to be carefull with the quad injections.

Just remember to aspirate . If you pull blood, reshoot another location. If not, you're good to go.

if u go through a nerve you will know. it's not goin to make you twitch its going to hurt like hell. the twitching is just natural i think happens with quad shots for me most of the time.
