    Are you talking when you inserted the needle? or pain afterward?

    When you insert the needle insert it very slowly and if you feel a pinch pull it out and try a different spot as you hit a nerve. If you are talking about pain afterward, there are all kinds of things, heat the oil to slightly above body temp, push in the plunger very slowly (60 seconds) make sure the needle is inserted at least 3/4" into the muscle, make sure you are pinning mid thigh and in the center of the vastus lateralis muscle not the edge of it or between the vastus lateralis and the rectus femoris, make sure your leg is completely relaxed. OK that's if for me...

    Thanks it was post pain. Im pretty sure I did everything right. Maybe the 1.5 needle was a mistake and I might have been tense giving I was piping my cherry.

    Do you know the right location in the quad? Also, use 1 inch for quad.

    The 1.5 are the correct length for glutes so if you are one of the lucky ones who can pin your own ass or you got a girl friend to help you out you are good to go! Whenever I pin my glute I wind up working the needle in and out of my ass like a sewing machine...its not pretty.

    Hit the shoulder Friday it's sore still but no as bad as the quad. Quad is still sore from we'd but slowly improving.
