How common is it?

[powerinabottle1300]

I am getting ready to start my first cycle using injections. I won't even get into my fear of needles. My question is how common is it to hit a nerve or vein? I will be injecting in my thigh or glutes. Thanks.

Nerves are very rare, veins are possible but as long as you aspirate its not an issue. A bit of blood might shoot out after the injection occassionally but you will live.

Im on my 7th shot and haven't hit either, and if you hit a vein aslong as you aspirate and see blood and dont inject into it you'll be fine just restick yourself with a new needle.

Thanks. I'm not sure why I am so worried about sticking myslef for the first time. I'll get over it I guess.

you ll be fine bro - i just did my 1st shot of Test E on Monday and now i m even looking forward to my 2nd tomorrow, despite me hating needles, simply cos i wana feel my gear kick in asap .... i was so tense bout it that i forgot to aspirate but i dont have any lumps or sores so i guess all went well.

just a lil advice i ve picked up from one of the pros here. if it's an oil base you re usin it'll help a lot if you draw the gear out the amp with an 18g pin raher than a 23g - believe me it was a damn pain in the ass (pardon the pun) to get the stuff out untill sumone told me to warm it a lil to thin out .... after that all went fine...

set everything up, relax, make sure you are in a clean environment, run the steps through in mind and off you go

best of luck matey

i hit a vein 1 in 10 times, havent hit a nerve yet

warming it up? How so? Hold it in my hand a bit to get it close to body temp?

[killua]

run it under a hot water before injecting, and dont worry, youll be fine after the first injection, we all went throught it, just look at my threads and youll know what happened at my first injection

Is it true? does it make a difference if you heat it up??

[sundancekid]

I had no problems with my first injection but passed out with my second. After that I decided to lay down and relax while i shoot. Now that I am off my cycle I find myself missing the shots.

Where were you shooting? Thigh? I only ask because I cn't make up my mind about which is easiest for a rookie, thighs or glutes

[anabolics4life]

i am on my first cycle. test e twice a week and injectable dbol ed... so i have to shoot everyday and use different sites(other than glutes) 1st shot was 1cc test with .5cc dbol in the right glute, and it hurt like a b**** the next day, then the 2nd injection was .5cc dbol in the quad, and i haven't noticed any pain

so i haven't had any problems with quads and if you are doing them yourself they are much easier to get to IMO.

hope that helps

Quads are easier. You can see what your doing, you can both hands and you won't be in an awkward position. However, glutes and delts are not much harder. Bro, don't worry everyones nervous the first shot. When you feel the soreness the day after don't freak out it's supposed to feel like that when you inject virgin muscles.
