Thread: Pain in knee after quad injection?

  1. #1

    Pain in knee after quad injection?

    Hey I just did my first quad injection yesterday used a 25g 1inch needle shot 1cc test eth and 1 cc eq aspiration went well and felt no pain initially didnt lift then about 8 hours later right above my knee started killin me and sweeling up nowhere near the injection site. I trained legs but after I felt this pain. What do you guys think this could be I doubt I hit a nerve cuz the pain came so long after is it just coincidence?

    I think it is only a coincidence. Probabally tweaked it doing something else without even realizing it. It's only human to look back at the last thing we did to try and figure out what caused pain.

    If you didn't hit a vein, I would agree with Tigershark.

    I sometimes feel some pain in the knee after a quad injection. Same goes with in the elbow after a delt injection. I never think much of it and it goes away shortly after it appears

    Same thing happens to me,when I pin l little low. Pinning just about 3-4in up from the last site will stop it for me.

    I've done this several times. You didn't get all the oil deep into the muscle, and some of it leaked back out and slid down between the epimysium sheath and the muscle, till it reached the end of the line at your knee, pooled there, and crashed. It's going to be swollen and hurt like a bitch for a week, but you'll be ok.
    Next time, pin slower, don't move the needle around, and pick a better spot.

    Yea it sucks! hurts so bad alot of swelling, The spot was about 10inchs from my knee and right off center of my quad should i go lower and more outside next time? BTW when I pinned I went straight down into my quad should I shoot more on the side with the pin angled?

    Are you saying you just pinned dead center in the quad? If so you could have easily missed the muscle.

    If you're concerned about it going to waste, don't.
    Anything you inject is going to get absorbed, just slower in this case.

    Yeah, it felt like I got hit with a baseball bat. But it always cleared up completely at the 1 week point.

No redness, a little warm, pain in quite minimal, more so in the injection site. just a ishload of fluid around my knee. Anybody please let me know what the heck this is. Also, very clean a sterile, washed site with alcohol pads, new needle, 23g 1 1/2 inch long, aspirated and everything. WTF!?!?!?!

    I've had it happen to a delt and tricep as well. Glutes are the safest, since they will hold the oil more easily.

    had this happen yesterday

    left quad , trained right after, about 8 hours after,no pain then BAM sore around my knee about 10 inches below site. not swollen, hot or any bruising. muscle is sore from injection site all teh way to just above my knee on teh outside.

    last week my right quad same thing about 8 hours after shot... but the pain stayed right at the site of injection.

    both virgin muscle as my first cycle.

    the right quad i used teh 23 g 1inch all the way and yestrday i used same needle but left a 1/3 out and looking back ii injected pretty damn fast.

    So if this was a leak and crash, wll it still get absorbed? it was 1ml test and 0.5 deca

    thanks

    You're posting on an old thread partner, but I will respond because I'm actually going through something very similar.


    A) You definitely want to go the full inch into your quad, when you went 2/3in you definitely didn't get the gear into your muscle very far or at all depending on your BFC %

    B) Check where you are injecting, draw a line with a sharpie from the middle of your knee cap to the top of your leg. Then draw a horizontal line dividing that first line in half. You should have 4 quadrants or equal rectangle shaped areas. You want the farthest upward and outward quadrant

    Top of Left leg
    [
    [ O <----------- Inject in this quadrant, high and outside of quad.
    [
    [
    ----------------------

    Knee Cap


    Your swelling is due to lack of muscle penetration and location

    yes its a old thread but is on topic and most forums hate repeat threads over and over.

    My leg wasn't swollen, but im sure it was a miss. my friend who is a life time cruiser thinks that very littl will be absorbed, but doest know as hsaid he never misses.

    Suck wasting gear , woe is me for being a noob.

    ive had this happen to me bro and the pain and swelling lasted like 2 weeks or so but i know for shure it was because i injected to low on the quad near the knee...

    Made the same mistake yesterday pretty tender hurts a little, more annoying than painfull. 2cc oil suspended wish it was something thinner so it would absorb faster cuz this is f%^#en annoying can't walk very fast. any tips for speeding up the absorbing process once one makes this mistake.
