injection question

[buff999]

hey guys,

was injecting today into my left quad....i put the needle in and it went in very weird....it almost felt like a crunching and it hurt more than normal, anyways, I aspirated and nothing came out and the needle was tough to pull out, but barely ant blood surfaced....so i just pulled out, grabbed a new needle and tried again...this time went in nice and smooth, in a diff spot.

possible that i went through a vein?

sounds like scar tissue. i get that sometimes too. just keep rotating spots.

i only get that "crunching feel/sound" when i inject into my quad. gluts and delts are always smooth.

you definitly hit some scar tissue. I had to give a friend shots in the rear delt, and he was so covered with scar tissue that everytime was an exercise in itself just getting the needle in. Also barely any blood when i would pull the needle out.

definitely scar tissue. stay away from that spot and rotate elsewhere..

thanks guys,

yeah it makes sense....its funny cause my left quad i have hardly done.....prolly like 3-4 shots.....ive done more in other areas, weird....oh well good to hear its nothing bad.....how long does it take for scar tissue to go away?

[map200uk]

i didnt think scar tissue does go away? which is why we rotate, to try and avoid it

but im not 100%

scar tissue...definitely or just nail your glutes....gg

[buff999]

yeah maybe it doesnt go away very fast by itself, i dont know either....i know you can have surgery to remove it

Always rotate injection spots to prevent this bro. I switch between 4-6 spots depending how oftien im injecting.

I think the scar tissue will probably remain, but as long as you rotate to other areas, I would not worry about it....I've got a bit of scar tissue on my quad as well, but I just avoid injecting there....
