Wassup all. I pin using a 23g 1" needle and have found that when I pin glutes I get soreness later in the day plus swelling that last for days. However when I pin delts I get no pain at all.
The glute pain has me moaning every time I sit down and even makes it a task to walk up stairs. It also seems to give me a temperature of 100-101 at times. Looks like I'm
Going to have to do my eod cycle using delts only.
Anyone know why this is happening?
Need 1.5 inch. Most likely leaking outside of muscle. Push 1 inch as deep as possible. Otherwise pip is normal til muscle gets use to. I got mad scar tissue and use 23g try something smaller maybe 25
Try pinning your quads. Much better than glutes. I take it your cycle history is minimal?Quote:

If some liquid goes out of the muscle that cause problems? It is absorbed in a few days?
I personally use 5/8 25 gauge for glutes and never have problems. I must be lucky after reading this thread.
I prefer a 25 gauge 1" pin for everything......can't go wrong.
You must not have much bodyfat. I can only use 5/8 for quads and delts. I hold all my fat around my waist. For glutes I use 1.5".Quote:

Edit: I dont think I ever had the fever problem, but I never checked. All the other things you described happened to me. If you have a needle exchange in the area you could get some 25s to try and see if it helps.
