Monday morning I pinned my left quad with
1cc of Test E (300mg). The pin went well, & I trained legs 45 minutes after. Injection site isn't really sore at all, but today I have soreness & swelling right above my knee. It actually got worse as the day progressed.
Someone please tell me what this could be.
Is this anything I should worry about, & does this mean the gear is now wasted? I went the full inch into the muscle, so I have no idea 😡
Anyone?Quote:

Have had this issue before. Even in delt, the pip was further down from the pin.
Keep an eye on it. Check for redness, , fever, and warm/hot to touch
Where in the quad did you pin?
What size needle?
To me I am guessing you injected to far down your quad and the oil migrated down towards your knee.
What exactly would those symptoms suggest.Quote:

Virgin quad with ugl gear will no doubt give pip amd soreness, ussually is nothing to be worried but if you develop fever and if site soreness increases it may mean infection.
Most ppl have problems with virgin quads, you probably injected mid quad but the best place is upper quad where pocket is located.
Gear is not wasted, it will be absoved.
Took the words outta my mouth I've had a lot of sore quad injects when I first started ime not much to worry about..I've never had a oil based infection or abcess not saying it doesn't happen just saying its rare.Quote:

That's why I'm asking you guys. There seems to be plenty of knowledgeable folks on here
BB basically stated what it is in his response.Quote:

Like others have said, unless you are experiencing signs of infection it's probably no big deal.
Once you get used to it, quads are the best spot IMO
Why in the hell would a knee swell up & get painQuote:

With it.
sounds like you pinned to low on your quad and oil leaked out of the muscleQuote:

Just wait until you hit a nerve on the way in and your quad flexes. That's super fun with a needle buried in your thigh. Or when you hit a vein and you get a mini geyser when you pull out the needle.
If you're fine today it was probably NBD. Next time put your palm on your hip bone, and pin where the end of your fingers touch the outside of your quad. Don't EVER pin the head (Vastus Medialus) though. Unless you have a week to push yourself around in a wheelchair it's a baaaaaad idea.
This is a great piece of advice. Thanks a lot! I've recently started experiencing knee pain after the injection. I addressed a shop trendy now customer service, bought a Doc Sleeve there, and keep on training. The pain is gone, but I didn't know what I did wrong. I guess it was NBD.
You injected too low and it likely leaked out and irritated the tissue around your knee.
Nearly every time I injected in my quad, I would get intense PIP regardless of brand/strength. Shoulders and glute are much better locations.
I am guessing; amputation... If aggressive surgical measures are not implemented forthwith, you are likely to lose the leg...Quote:

It is so bad in my quads that I have not injected there for over two years. The vastus lateralis muscle (outer quad) is the most common injection site for medical personnel, when they choose the quad. It is a large muscle which theoretically can accommodate several cc's / ml's injected into this muscle. Not for me... Perhaps not for you...???
I inject into my pectoral and biceps muscles using insulin needles. If I am doing 2-3cc's, I put 1/2 in the left pec and 1/2 in the right. Same with biceps.
I will go with 3cc's into my glute on one side, and have no PIP.
So, if you find that quad injections are too painful, you can mix it up, jump around, rotate injection sites. Lot's of possibilities here, bro.
In any event, you are in good hands here on the forum.
Good luck.
