Did my injection not hit the muscle?

**Dan55** · 10-15-2012, 07:15 AM

Hello there.

So today I experienced something unusual, atleast for me.

I inject in my thigh. Today I forgot to withdraw before i injected to check for blood.

I injected slowly and pulled the needle out afterwards just like normal.

However.
When I was done i put pressure on the site and it made this wierd noise.

You know when you drink alot of water/liquid and bounce your belly you can hear the liquid ''bouncing'' inside your stomach.

Thats the closest sound that I can come up with that explains the noise it makes.

I can touch the injection site with little pressure and it makes this noice. Either its the liquid moving or its full of air bubbles inside there. I always have a little bit of air in the syringe to get every bit of the testosorone inside.

Now what's this?

I can kind of feel the liquid/air bubbles when i squeeze the injection site. Its been 3 hours since i injected and its still the same

I am guessing it did not go into the muscle correctly?

It was a 2ml/250mg testosorone cypionate if its any interest

What site did you inject and what needle size did you use?

**Dan55** · 10-15-2012, 07:22 AM

Right thigh and 23g 1 needle.

Been using these needles for every injection 30 times no problem other then today

You body will absorb it if you put it in fat or muscle not a problem and some air bubbles wont kill you unless you put a whole bunch directly into a vein...Watch it for a few days but you should be just fine

Good to hear that I will be fine.

Pretty sure i did not hit a vein. Felt like normal and normal amount of blood came out.

I am not sure what I hit, needle was all the way in like always but from the sound of it it sounds like theres a small amount of either liquid or air lying under my skin. Did anything go to waiste?

If you injected 2ML into a a blood vessal you would know it. If you buried that 1" than you are in muscle. Don't sweat it..it can take a while for the muscle to absorb the 2ML. If it's there in a cpl days or turns red and sore and gets warm to the touch then it may...I said MAY be time for more concern

why on earth would you put pressure?!? just LEAVE IT!
putting pressure is adding tissue damage. you are hurting yourself NOT making it go in. you cant PUSH the oil into muscle (try it with a steak and grape seed oil lol). it will have to sit and slowly absorb.
once you inject LEAVE IT ALONE!! DONT massage and DONT put pressure.

you prob caused damage or burst a nearby vein.

My first cycle i never massaged. Now; I always rub and massage. If i don't it will just pool in one place. Massaging helps move the oil a bit. Helps with pip as well.

If you put it in your body, it will be absorbed.

I am sorry I think i expressed myself wrong let me try again.

When I said squeezing it after I was done. I did not ment squeeze just gently touch the site, so gently you would pet a young kitten. Just to check what the noise was.

When I said pressure I have been given advice becouse at first on my cycles i had troubles with pain after injecting but thats gone now. . By pressure I mean massaging it for 10 seconds so gently i can barely feel it like you would pet a small kitten. I can hardly believe this causes damage.

I can understand you thought so when I said pressure you probably think I was putting alot of force on it.

But now I learned something new, thank you

eventually the oil will dissipate and be absorbed. I never massage the inj site as that may aggravate the iinjection and does nothing especially if you inject prop and rub this just causes further discomfort. If you want to help with dissipation discomfort and then sleep on an electric blanket to provide heat to the area.

No need to massage the area immediately after an injection mate. As others have said, you possibly increase the risk of trauma. If you are concerned about absorption or pooling, some recommend warming the gear using warm-hot water before drawing into the syringe. This may help reduce pooling in the muscle though I've never found a need to do it personally.

The only time I'd recommend massaging the area is if a lump starts to form 48 hours (or more) after the injection. Heating the area with a heating pad or a warm soak in the tub followed by a massage of the area can be helpful in breaking down any swelling or lumps if they appear 48 hours after an injection. Any lumps or hardening of the area that persists longer than 5 days post injection my indicate a possible infection and would require a different treatment protocol is other symptoms of infection are present. I realize your question is not about infections, however, it's important to identify the difference between common PIP and a possible infection.

Disagree. I massage the shit out of injection spots everytime. Makes a difference for me. Put 2cc in your triceps and don't touch em. Guarantee it hurts like a bitch later

Lots of ppl do things they shouldn't do and get away with it lol.

The fact is that massaging after the injection CAN (not gauranteed will) cause further trauma.

I have never had a shot at the hospital or doctors office or the (seemed like) 100's during my military service where anyone massaged it or suggested that I do so.

Don't gey me wrong I have seen some nurses that I would let administer the shot and hope they would massage it

Still don't think it;s the SAFEST practice...even if you have never had a negetive experience
