injecting into scar tissue-good idea?

**BELLICOSE** · 10-08-2002, 08:37 AM

i was doing a normal glute injection last night, the needle usually goes in smoothly, but it was very hard to push in, so i think there's scar tissue in my glute.
Is it bad to inject into scar tissue? Will it mess up absorption? I went ahead and did it, i was just wondering

Well believe me you will know when you've injected into scare tissue. When it starts to form the area gets very hard, it feels like a lump in your ass. And when you inject into it....well make sure you bite into a baseball bat or something. I believe (don't quote me here) that someone posted a thread about the absorption, it all still gets absorbed but it does not disperse as fast.

slows it down a bit, absortion that is. I have spot on my leg that i can't inject, nothing will come out no matter how hard i push, thanks to doc, digging around one time. Ideally avoid the area with scar tissue, good tip is to massage the area after you inject cuts down on scar tissue.

i'm using that damn 50ml QV enathate which hurts really bad.....i get a big lump in my arse after every injection and it lasts for several days.
It was very hard to push the needle in and when i did it was making a popping noise(best way i can describe it)
