Quad inject

Well I gave my glutes a break. I had been getting help with all my shots but I kind of built up confidence to do it myself and took over my cycle... plus I was tired of my helping always being busy on fri/saturday and it was looking like I would have had to skip days this week, etc.

I finally got the nerve to do a quad shot. Man, it was like, did it inject in the right area?? No pain, no swelling, its like those 2.25 CC's just disappeared... no swelling day after, just slight ache when walking... wow quads are better then glutes!! I put 1.25 CC in my calve, now this... wooo-wee I feel that one today.

I stay away from glutes............ I have problems reaching around to aspirate and do the injections. Quads are painless and great for the bigger injections.

I have probs aspiring glutes, but can't afford to stay away from them.

You know some of the pictures on spotinjections.com arent that clear... too bad they dont stand back a little instead of so close up. In otherwords show relationship of where shorts are to where they are injecting... maybe if they laid out a ruler... it was hard for me to tell how far around on the side to go... I guess quads are almost on the side just forward a little of where the leg bone hits the pelvis... at least it worked for me anyways.

if you run the syringe under hot water for about a minute it helps with the pain a little, just make sure that you pull back the stopper so that the AS has room to expand and before you shoot it just push the air out ! works good for me !

I *always* warm the oil before an inject... thinner oil is much more pleasant.

I love quads and delts myself. Bi's and Tri's are also a good deal.

Great thing about quads is that they are such a big muscle group that you can hit them lower, higher, closer to glute, closer to knee... you can really spread out the shots to avoid nasty scar tissue buildup.

I got no problems hitting or aspiring the glutes, but I've been hitting veins a lot lately there, so I avoid the glutes.

Quads are by far the best injection site for me, as i never have any swelling and hardly any soreness a day after the injection. My glutes would always be sore as hell, i think its from having the needle move once its inside.
