Help on Second Injection Site: Gluteus Medius!!!

[athlete20]

So as some of you know, Sunday was my first Test E glute injection of about 1.5 cc (500mg). I was recommended to follow s p o t i n j e c t i o n s' "instructions", and it didn't go so well. About 5 hours later it began to hurt (soreness). Yesterday I woke up with the worst pain and could barely walk. Working out and running was a pain and had to cut it short. Sleeping was also difficult last night. My right glute feels a little harder (spot of injection) than my left side and the pain has subsided a tad, but it still hurts like a b****. The spot that s p o t i n j e c t i o n s shows is actually the gluteus maximus and that is most likely the reason for the pain because that spot is much more sensitive than the medius one. So my advice to everyone, "Never follow s p o t i n j e c t i o n s' pics".

Now on to my question, I want to get the spot right from now on and was wondering how to locate the gluteus medius? I'm having trouble locating it. Is the ventrogluteal site the same as the gluteus medius one? I just want to get the spot right and never feel the pain I'm feeling right now.

Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks.

lol..ive never injected in the glute, after all the ass being soar threads i dont think i will..haha

props adam..should clear up alot of things and make it easier

[buffgator]

Isn't that the gluteus maximus because the gluteus medius is more of a hip shot?

[taiboxa]

i put it in the hip sometimes

I'm actually thinking of changing the spot, but I'm not sure because I have a shit load of 23g, 1.5" needles. In addition, I don't want to mess with the quads because if I get the same pain like I have back there, it's going to be bad. Where do you shoot in?

man, you suck.

That's funny. I teach nursing students to do that. Not with a pen but visualize cutting it in quarters but inject more towards the upper right coroner of the right upper square.

This is the gluteus medium, but I keep running across statements that claim that it's the same spot as ventrogluteal site. So as of right now, I'm confused.

Damn, I wish I was in nursing right now. Do you happen to know where I can find some accurate info on how to inject in the glutues medius?

[BuffDJ]

OK athlete just like the pic. Quater the glute and hit for the upper right corner of the upper right quarter just before going lateral. You should be able to palpate it when flexed.

Pull up your skirt and grab your balls son, you have to take the good with the bad...You probably just have a virgin muscle, it will get better..Either that or the BA content is too high!! And btw it sucks you had a bad experience but the website you mentioned is very reliable..Good luck w/ your next injection..

P.S. Be a Man, tough it out!!!

delts with 23g, 1.5" pins, isn't that a little too big?

Your picture of the BB is correct. You want to inject into the upper outer region of the gluteus. If you go to low, you risk getting in between the muscles and hitting more veins.

yo B, i have no idea what it can be. it can be anything from what i have been told. the one thing i'm sure of is that i followed that sites' directions for shooting in the adequate part of the glute, and according to their "real pics", it's the gluteus maximus. one is not supposed to shoot in there, but rather in the medius. the red in the first pic that they show should be the "b" area and not the "1" area. i'm not bitching about the pain, i just want to make sure i get it right tomorrow because this pain sucks ass. thanks bro, i'm hoping everything does go well.

i didn't know that tai, thanks for the info. that's what it kind off feels like. the area where i shot in is basically harder than my left glute, and until just now, it's a little warm. why is that? what can i do for the pain? no, it is not great. thanks again for the info.

yeah, i think that's what happened because the area where i shot in was lower and in the maximus muscle, and not in the medius where i was supposed to shoot in. thanks.

after u inject.. u kan hop in shower.. put water on super hot and rub the shit outta it w/ the bottom of a shampoo bottle.. or just massage it after injection for a minute or so.. may.. maynot help who knows.. u will be fine.. only time u need to worry is if it GETS big HARD RED and HOT.. and lasts over 6 days.. i mean if it swells up and gets red/hard/hot no biggie thats VERY COMMON but if it lasts for over a week.. then u might have an issue..

on a side note.. i have had bad issues w/ some prop in the past having real high BA and real LOW BB% both caused the SAME problem
HARD WHELPS red/hot/painful! like GIANT mosquito bites.. lasted 8-12days..
but in the end it was still no BIGGIE at all .. and subsided.. just a nuisance at best..

alot of newcommers FREAK OUT.. but ur injeting a hormone (which can be painful) and benzyle alcohol WHICH IS SOME NASTY SHIT!!! and HURTS but its all good..

ok, thanks tai. i appreciate it.

[athlete20]

Hey Tai, what can I do to alleviate the current pain?

[Kale]

Here You Go

I shot about two inched higher than that, I think that is still too low

[rabidsquirrel]

i think alot of it is the gear. before this cycle i could inject anywhere in the glutes with no pain. this cycle has started to suck towards the end because it hurt almost ever time and i do change injection site(change checks every week). im missing another day of work today because i can bearly move my leg. really dont think its wear im injecting because i have done it so much with no problems. well theres my 2 cents. good luck

p.s. i even got the gear from the same place for last 2 cycle

Hey guys, what are the "official signs" of an abscess? After looking at other threads, I just want to make sure what the early stages of it is? Hopefully I don't have one, but I like I said, I just want to make sure. Thanks.

[yahya1966]

yes, the ventrogluteal or hip injection hits the gluteus medius. lot of medical people prefer it for im injections because there aren't to many nerves or blood vessels there. u can also pump in up to 5ccs.

The More Oil You pump into a muscle the worse it's going to hurt. I never would suggest using more than 3cc at any given time per Injection

ive grown fond of injection day.....AVIT!!!!!!!!!!!

true that, but when they say up to 5cc i don't think they're talking about oils or aas anyway.

Careful with that bottle Eugene...
