Quadricep Pain 3 days after injection - What to do?

[pimpdawgin]

Pinned 300 mg of Test Enanthate & 300 mg of EQ into my left quad on Tuesday night. (About 2mL in total)
This muscle is virgin, never been pinned before.
Have trouble walking down the stairs, or supporting weight on the left leg.
Sitting down, however, no pain, unless I really press down on the spot.
-No swelling.
-No fever
-No visible redness
-Not hot to the touch.

I am pretty sure it's not an infection/abscess, but even so I would like to know if there is anything I can do to help make the pain go away.
-Is rubbing a good idea?
-Applying heat?
-Taking Advil/Tylenol?

Thanks for the input!!!!!

try the glute next time

try the glute next time

I know the glute is easier, and I will probably stick to the glutes after this experience.

But given that I did do the quad, I am looking for constructive input as how to remedy my current predicament.

some ibuprofen can help.
Just sounds like normal virgin muscle pain

[Booz]

it will go mate like above virgin muscle syndrome

[run_n_fool]

Agreed, try ibuprofen and some stationary cycling with light resistance.

A few days previous to this injection, I pinned my other quad (also virgin) and it was fine. No problems walking, buckling, etc.

I took some Robaxacet (no Ibuprofin handy), rubbed some Myoplex on it, and will shortly apply a heat pack to it and rub the area.

Although there is no visible swelling, the muscle area is tense (compared to the other quad). There is tension in the muscle.
I'm hoping that this is just fascia/muscle irritation from the benzyl alcohol, etc. since the stuff I pinned was dosed at 300 mg/mL and 400 mg/mL, ie. more b.a. content.

just went thru the same thing. Pinned my thigh, and i hurt for days. seemed like time is the only answer, and bro, I will NEVER hit my thigh again. You might try heat, to speed up the absorbtion of the oil.

Heat is usually helpful. however time is the only real cure. No worries though its a normal deal. however it can often be lessened or avoided by pinning a little higher up on the thigh.

My buddy told me the exact same thing, but I pinned pretty high actually. 3/4 of the way to the hip, when measured from knee to hip. I actually pinned lower (about 1/2 way between knee and hip) on the other leg, and no problems.

Maybe I hit the lymph system. Doing a high-rep squat workout the day after the injection probably didn't help either.

Still, I am probably not going to be pinning the quads again. I don't have the balls to go through this, or worse, again.

[gixxerboy1]

shots sometimes hurt. You need to be able to deal with it.

[bodybuilder]

How does the old saying go. No pain no gain. You will be fine bro just deal wit the pain.

[lc1213]

yea it will eventually subside. i have been pinning for the last 11 weeks and i still have soreness a day or so after. nothing like the first time i pinned though. totally sucked.

[Nuzzi]

seems like that was alot of gear to shoot all at once into a virgin muscle...and then to work it hard the next day on top of it? going by the fact the other leg didnt hurt its possible you just hit a nerve cluster or just a bad part of the muscle. my first cycle hurt like a mother each and every pin, but i still couldnt wait for the next one.

Spoken like a man.

you'll get used to it, my 1st few cycles on sust were murder on my quads, i can now pin it in traps and pecs and not feel a thing

I should have been more specific, midthigh is the preffered location. However many pin toward the knee for whatever reason and this often causes needless pain, but if you were midthigh this is not the case. One other thing I recommend to all my clients is that before injecting they get in the position they will be when pinning ( sitting, lying etc.) and flex the muscle slightly to locate the middle of the vastus lateralis muscle, then before pinning naturally relax the muscle. Many mistakenly pin the edge of the vastus intermedius or worse yet the area between the lateralis and intermedius. When pinning midthiigh it is very easy to not be centered in the lateralius muscle and this often causes problems.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I rubbed some Rub-A535 Heat onto it, applied a Heat Pack, and rubbed the shit out of it. Took some Ibuprofen, too. Feels WAY better today. Must have either been the oil pooling in there, or a tense muscle or something. Should have just done that earlier, but you live you learn.

[R1Guy]

I cant pin anything other than thighs.
Take an easy ride on the bike at the gym for 20 minutes or so the day of the injection. I have ZERO pip when I hit the bike afterwards.

If its not swollen, red, or hot, it is not infected. Just wait it out. It will get better.

Did you get pharma grade or from a UGL?

[lovbyts]

OK here is something I have been preaching for 2 years now or more.
1st off, how long did it take to inject 2ml into your quad?
Now take the same size syringe and needle and fill it with water. Using the same amount of pressure to push down the plunger pointing it up in the air how far does the water go?
Now where do you think this is going inside your quad? Is there a sponge in there? Open air? No, it's BLASTING like a mine fire hose against your poor virgin muscle causing a bruise or charlie horse.

2cc takes me at least 2 full minutes to inject. Do you think that's a long time? 2 minutes... Well, I did it earlier today and I am not sure which quad I did because there is ZERO pain. Lets do the math, 2 minutes injection = zero pain or 30 seconds or less and 3 days of pain? you figure it out. LOL

Seriously there is no reason to do it quickly. I dont even harpoon anymore. I make sure I have a new needle (dont use it to draw) and put it on the quad. I SLOWLY add pressure until it starts to slip in like a warm knife into butter and dont feel a thing. Also if you do get close to a nerve and feel something just stop for 5 seconds and continue, the nerve seems to move out of the way.

[pimpdawgin]

Quad is back up to 100%.
lol, I wish it was pharma/human grade, but it was UGL.
I went pretty slow with the injection, but not slow enough I guess.

Quadricep?
