My Butt is leaking!

[Chuck_R]

I'm retyping this from an article by William Llewellyn on pg 288 of Muscular Developement January 2008 issue.

I'm quite sure that most of you more experienced practioners of TRT are quite aware of this info presented. I take the time to retype for those who may not know.

On pg 288 of the Jan. 2008 issue of Muscular Developement, William Llewellyn writes an ariticle entitled, "Anabolic Research Update." The first part delt with injecting steroids subcutaneously. The 2nd part of his article addresses the issue of....An End To Leaky Butts? I will be retyping the Leaky Butt Issue.


An End To Leaky Butts?

"This month, we also have some interesting information for all you standard IM injectors out there. It involves tactics for fixing the classic "leaky butt" problem. No, I am not talking about that type of leaky butt. I am talking about that dribble of oil that sometimes leaks from the site of the IM injection after the needle is withdrawn. It is a common complaint, although an issue that most steroid users have simply "just gotten used to." But the fact still remains that as slight as it may be,any oil that leaks from the site of injection is not making its way into your body and your therapy is likewise, delivering slightly less drug than intended.

The problem lies in the fact that IM injection creates a deposit of drug that stretches the area of muscle in which it is given. As the muscle is stretched, pressure builds in the oil-filled cavity. Think of it as a high pressure oil deposit in the ground. Once a hole is drilled into it, the internal pressure forces oil up through the drill shaft into the ground and onto the surface. Remember the “bubblin’ crude” at the start of “The Beverly Hilllbillies?” OK, poor example…but you get the point. This same thing is happening with deep IM steroid injections, the shaft in this case being the direct needle line that supplies the IM drug reservoir. Well, as it turns out, it is not something you really have to deal with. There are actually sold, old injection techniques that can be used by today’s steroid users to help keep the full drug deposit right where it was intended.


The Z-Track

The Z-track technique was originally introduced for use with drugs that stain the skin or clothes, in an effort to stop post injection leakage and staining. Today, it is commonly applied in Europe for many intramuscular injections. The technique is very simple. Normally, one would simply press the skin at the site of injection and pierce it with a needle. For a Z-track injection, we are going to move the layer of skin first. By slightly shifting the skin to the side and then injecting, we have created an elastic effect that will rebound once the needle is removed. What results after the injection is a shift or kink in the needle shaft. It may resemble a Z-track on cross section (hence the name). Usually this 1-2cm shift is enough to close off the injection depot form the thin needle hole that would otherwise lead directly up to the surface. We have essentially close it over by releasing the skin and allowing the outer and subcutaneous tissues to return to their pre-injection locations.

Air Bubble Technique

Does small air bubbles in a syringe make you nervous? Perhaps you’ve seen a movie where some unsuspecting victim was murdered with an air bubble in a syringe. While this makes for good suspense and drama, it is not quite a real-life example of what happens. In reality, a fairly large volume of air would need to be injected directly into a vein to “off” someone. When it comes to a few small air bubbles in an intramuscular injection, one need not worry. In fact, an old technique called the “air bubble technique” is actually still used by some doctors to stop leakage following IM injection. The practice was originally devised to help with dosage measurements with old glass syringes, which were less accurate. A small amount of air was used to fill the dead space and push the full dosage into the body. Later on, it was shown that a small bubble of air at the end of an IM injection was actually more successful than the Z-track method at preventing solution leakage. Apparently, the added bubble is enough to break any suction caused by the needle and is also sufficient to close off the needle shaft in many cases without the need for tissue shift.

So there you have it, two ways to prevent that rarely bothersome but still common issue of oil leakage. Hop you find the tips helpful.”


And for what it is worth I share my experience with the issue: since I must always inject myself I have found the "Air Bubble Technique" to be the most effective.

I hope that a few new people will find this helpful and overlook any grammatical errrors or typos.
