so I poked today and just as the pin broke the skin it started to sting real bad. I mean i had some oil on it the pin. It just stung worse as i tried to push it in more. Kinda like a prop shot x10. Well i took it out and now like 30min later That area hurts to touch.
Should I be worried?
sounds like you just hit a nerve or something real sensitive, i wouldn't be real worried
No worries......... I have done this many times........ you either were near a vein or nerve.
sometimes mine sting pretty bad if i just wiped with an alcohol pad and didnt let my glute dry.Quote:

Once i break through the skin it should slide nicely in. but if it becomes more sensitive than i am close to or in an artery. it usually takes me about4-5 mins just to push the needle all the way in. Sometimes i have to keep redirecting the needle once it's in. glutes no problem. i usually do about 3mls in my leg. the next day it feels like i literally got shot. and my leg sticks out about 2 inches. Thank god i don't workout my legs:) it also feels warm to the touch, but it goes away.
Can i ask you a question, are you rotating good? b/c that is a possibility too. But you would usually get bruising associated with it too. I think its more likely a nerve as mud said, but just my .02

yeah, for some reason my legs are very sensitive. I used to be able to do it in about 1 or 2 min. but had bad exp. once when i went through artery. Had to artery because the pain was so bad, it felt like someone was cuting my leg off. after i injected and tried to remove the needle, i felt every little movement of that needle. at that point i swore never to do my leg again. but my legs look so good and meaty. i can't resist, i just go very slow.Quote:

did some alcohol get down in there, was everything dry?Quote:

the same happened to me yesterday when i shot in my right delt, stung when it broke the skin, maybe the needle wasnt very sharp, or for some reason the skin was more tender than usual
your nuts! my ass, yeah. not my leg though. i wish i could do that. i evy those that can. I have to put the needle up to my skin and touch very lightly to see if it is sensitive. If it is, i then move over a couple centimeters till i feel very little.Quote:
