Normal to "feel" the gear?

**mmazz** · 03-10-2014, 08:53 AM

So i did my first im injection today, 250mg/ml 1ml test e, it was into my vastus lateralus. Everything went great no pain during the injection, however after i injected it was almost as if i felt the liquid spreading through my thigh, kind of warm funny feeling. Is this normal or is this all in my head? also very sore it feels like the day after a heavy leg day. any responses or tips would be helpful. Still a little nervous lol. thanks guys

Your going to feel some PIP until your injection site muscles get used to it. It can be painful. By your 4th or 5th pin you should be pretty good at it and PIP will be minimal.

Be careful not to move the needle around while you aspirate . It can damage the area and cause pain after.

A heat pad will help.

Try to pinch and pin. It helps a lot with PIP.

If your using a 25g needle, try a 23g, it's much easier to push the oil thru without moving the needle around too much.

A slight massage after pin helps.

Also try to workout that muscle the same day you pin.

I hate pinning my quad. I hit a nerve one of the first times and have been kind of nervous ever since. Try to remember where you did this one and if you don't have significant PIP, use that spot again. If you got it in there, I wouldn't worry about the funny feeling. If you didn't get it deep enough in the muscle, it will still work, but it will probably hurt like hell in a couple of hours. Kind of feels like somebody hit you in the leg with a baseball bat for a few days.

Since you injected a foreign substance into your leg, there is a good chance you might feel it. I've never felt warm/funny as you describe it though. You're probably overly sensitive to the feeling since its the first time you've injected in that muscle.

In your head no worries

kinda feel sluggish and a little warm.. prob just nerves or test flu, took a multi this morning and just took some vitamin c now so hopefully this goes away so i can have a good lift, thanks for all the responses first pin can get a little nerve wrecking

just injected my hcg too subq 250iu (.25cc)... talk about nerves that time too haha guess you just have to get used to it

**DontTaseMeBro** · 03-10-2014, 03:12 PM

not to worry. hcg can sting or burn for a while, but its a birthday party compared to shooting thick test into the quad. let us know how it feels tomorrow.

HCG is water based - it feels like nothing

You get used to IM injections. But, they do suck - I mainly stick to upper body.

Just did my peck with very EO loaded gear. That shit ached like a mother for a day +

It depends a lot on the person,,most people it wont bother at all.
You could be putting too much thought into the whole process.
Are you injecting DEEP IM with the right gauge pin?

**mmazz** · 03-11-2014, 04:49 PM

I'm 5'5 155, 10% bf, I'm injecting with a 23 gauge 1 inch needle, it's switched from the 18 gauge I draw with as not to blunt it. I inject all the way into my vastus lateralis with the 1" needle. Thigh is still a little sore today but not terrible was able to bend it to dead lift heavy with no problem. Only thing is now I seem to be getting calf pumps pretty painful considering I walk a lot outside. Almost feels like they're about to explode. Taurine and water I know I have to pick up some taurine. Also any opinions on taking baby aspirin as to thin the blood due to the increased rbc? I think it's called hemocratin levels or something to that affect?
