First shot!?!?!?

[sensaispike]

Just a quick question, I did my first shot of my cycle today it was test e 1ml/250mg. I had to do it in my thigh because I did not think that I would be able to aspirate if I tried for glute, here is my question, right after I got done injection my leg felt like someone punched the hell out of it, is that normal to have discomfort in the muscle right away like that? If so am I going to be able to walk tomorrow?
This may seem like a dumb question to some of you but like I said this was my first shot.
Thanks

I've never had any pain immediately after, it usually comes later in the day or sometimes, I don't even feel it til the next day, I'm not sayin there's somthin rong with u or that u did somethin rong, evrey1 is different I guess. Use a heat pad & massage 2 work the oil in & help disperse it throughout the tissue. Keep in mind, virgin tissue always brings some sort of "shell shock", be it mild or extreme...............it will pass.

the first time I pinned I felt like someone had injected lead into my quad. Just massage the area and know that you'll be sore. There isn't much you can do about it. Remember you stuck a needle into your muscle and filled the surrounding tissue with a foreign substance. Its gonna be sore.

Thanks guys, and I know all this I guess I just over analyze everything, and once you are sticking that pin in yourself it’s a lot different than giving a friend a shot. I also wanted to ask…. I used a 1.5in pin on my quad, is that too long, I had originally got them for my glute but then decided to go with quads so I was wondering if that is too deep….

Also to clarify I would not really say that its painful, it just feels like someone punched me in my leg like ten minutes ago, I guess I am just be feeling pressure from the oil.

Virgin muscle always feels strange for the first few times, it will get better

1" is fine...What gauge? That could have something to do w/it.

[sensaispike]

its 1.5 inch and i am using 25g to insure i go slow.

[chuckt12345]

You should be fine.
Always really stressful the first time so you're bound to over think it.

Hey man,
I feel you. I just did my first shot as well. I did it yesterday morning in the right glute with 500mg (2cc) Test E. Got done in the gym with no problems but when I got into my truck it felt like my lower back/upper ass was bruised when I sat down. Still have it today but its going away. I have the same tendency to over analyze, so I called a good buddy who is a corpsman and he said its just the muscles reacting to having a 23 gauge needle and 2 ml of liquid stuck in to it. (I didnt stick the needle in my low back, btw. Upper outer quadrant of ass cheek.) Anyway, Congratulations on your first pin! and good luck! Oh, Everything I heard was that the glute is way better than the quad as far as soreness. I stood in front of the mirror for at least 20 minutes with my pants down trying to relax enough to just do it. Ended up laying on my side on the bed and slid the needle in smooth as butter. Aspirated, and plunged nice and slow. Cake.

^^^^ The fear is worse than the pain usually. I stood in front of the mirror, sweating, for quite a while my first time.

damn nashville... 2cc's in 1 shot? no wonder you were sore.. why not 1 cc 2x per week?

Man, nothing can be as bad as a penicillin shot in the glute. 2cc of test is way better than that! Sick picture too, jasc.

cool, i just got home and i am going to put some heat on it and i have been rubbing it all day.

I plan to start a log in a day or 2 under the members experience section...

thanks again guys for all the advise.

here is another question for you guys, I think I under dosed my first shot because on my barrels there are 2 measurements, one is marked cc and the other is marked M, in my excitement I forgot that cc and ml are the same thing, and read the M side of the syringe not the cc, and 1 M on the syringe was = to just a little over .5 cc/ml, so I guess my question is should I just correct it next time or take the rest today???

Oh shit, that means its going to be a hven bigger knot... haha.. bring it on.

[The Bear 79]

U can take the rest 2day, just don't pin the same spot.

[sensaispike]

well i decided to just wait and correct my next dose, I don’t think it will be a big issue.... on another note my led was crazy sore last night and I could not bend it all the way so I spent about 45 min applying heat and it is considerably less sore this morning.

i dont know if anyone suggested it yet but streching the muscle helps keep it from getting too stiff and lessen the pain overall for me....
