Leg Twitching When Injecting

**ant_8u** · 08-03-2005, 10:37 AM

You know how sometimes you get a pulse in your eye?

Your eye twitches a bit and you can't do anything about it!

Well, i just stuck myself in my quad and my leg did that funny twitchy pulse type thing

Looked pretty funny actually, i've never had a visible pulse in my leg before

I know i didn't hit a nerve cuz i didn't jump out of my chair or squeal like a little girl

What do you think causes this pulsing effect?

Maybe mild shock or trauma to the muscle

Any theories folks?

yea i pulled it out when it started twitching

This happens to me all the time but only in my left leg, it must be the angle I hit as I am right handed and never have the problem with my right quad. Its a nerve

**ant_8u** · 08-03-2005, 10:46 AM

Didn't hurt at all

Isn't it supposed to hurt like mad when you hit a nerve?

I got a spasm/pulse near my knee, then one near my hip a second or two later

I didn't inject anything, just took the needle out

I just withdrew the pin and went again

i don't think u hit a nerve, but u probably got close to it. this has happened alot when i shoot quads, it's one of the reasons i like shootin delts now. seems like less nerves there..

Happens to me quite often. Only in my glutes and quads though. As i'm sticking it in the muscle starts twitching. Kinda freaky, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

**ant_8u** · 08-03-2005, 10:08 PM

Looked like something out of Alien!

Still think it must be something other than a nerve

Either that or i just got close to one without hitting it

Trust me, if i'd hit a nerve i'd have screamed out my little bitch lungs til they bled!

**topvega** · 08-03-2005, 10:09 PM

i have come close to a nerve and i have also hit a nerve... hitting it felt like a real bad toothache only in my leg... comming close gave me the twitches

**flex99** · 08-03-2005, 10:13 PM

happened to me yesterday, continued with injection, no big deal

**ant_8u** · 08-03-2005, 10:14 PM

Must have just missed one

I didn't feel a thing

There was definitely some sort of party going on, but only my leg knew about
That was the only part of me doing any dancing

**symatech** · 08-03-2005, 11:08 PM

that used to happen to me 9/10 times I injected quads. That is one of the reasons I never inject there anymore.

**MER** · 08-03-2005, 11:39 PM

I get it sometimes but it never hurts, just pull out and relocate. I get it in my shoulder too.

**slob** · 08-04-2005, 04:10 AM

same thing has happened to me a few times.. it just happens randomly man. nothing to be worried about.

**ant_8u** · 08-04-2005, 10:19 AM

I know it's nothing to be worried about

Just wanted to know what causes it

Seems to have happened to alot of you

Is it definitely caused by a nerve?
