    Only inject in glutes. Resistance pushing plunger. Scar tissue?

    How bad is it to only pin the glutes? Just been rotating asscheeks so basically same muscle once a week. On my first cycle and it's like the PIP gets worse every time but i'm scared to pin anywhere else. Last time i injected there was a lot of resistance trying to push the oil in and my ass got crazy swollen. Am i injecting into scar tissue now?

    I doubt you got scar tissue from one cycle, what was you injecting? If I'm only pinning twice a week, i typically go glutes only

    Once a week on each spot is fine. You are not getting scar tissue from that.

    But there might be rough tissue anywhere in our body, sometimes we hit it with needle.

    Why do you think PIP and swelling seems to be getting worse each time then? There was some serious resistance when pushing the plunger, like i almost had to use 2 fingers lol

    High BA content maybe? Oil is pretty yellowish, but clear

    Your body adjusting to a foreign oily new substance.

    ..or bad gear, but the 1st option happens to almost everyone.

    The resistance in plunger is due to bad choice of needle and syringe.

    Have you heard of pitting edema? Whenever i inject my glutes, the upper side of my thigh gets squishy and spongy for a few days afterwards. Only noticed it with the last 2 injections but maybe its been happening all along. Can push my finger into my skin and it leaves an indentation. It's a sign of infection so that worries me a bit but i havent run a fevee over 99.2 since i started my cycle 3 weeks ago.

    My gear is a year old btw. Got it when i just turned 24 and decided to wait til i was 25

    That can also be due to a sterile abscess.

    Like I said your body is fighting a foreign substance.

    If that's the case, will this go away on it's own?

    Yes, take some NAC and vit C to help your immune system.

    If you do have fever you might need antibiotics.

    Consider buying a shorter needle (1") and learning to hit delts. You'll survive the experience and will be glad you did. I like 25 ga as long as it's not a large volume shot. It's a slow push but that's fine, it should be. And listen to BB.

    I took keflex after my last injection but i ran out. Last injection got kinda red. Temperature has been steady between 99 and 99.2 while on cycle.

    Also what is NAC?

    I would prefer to pin in my delts actually. But if it's bad gear i'd like to just keep it in one area right now until i figure out what to do

    I will probably try delts next.

    I'm going to hold off on my next pin (which was supposed to be today) until i'm confident that this is nothing to be concerned about. Unfortunately i think i might just have shit gear. Hard to tell when you have no prior experience.

    Been wondering the same thing. I've been getting a lot of resistance from the plunger when I inject only into my right quad everytime. At times it feels like the plunger is stuck.

    I inject 2ml into my quads every 4 days. This is my 4th cycle.

    It's very interesting. In my case, when I was doing injections I injected only in the glutes and never face any problems. Of course I have also tried to rotate injection spots, but for me it's still easier to inject in the glutes.

    NAC is an overrated precursor to glutathione.

    I truly do not know why it is pushed so hard when the end result is to get ^^^ this which is ten dollars.

    I've been pinning for years and some pins are harder than other. It just happens. Be patient and push harder. LOL

    Got any more info about this? NAC gets pricey when you take 5 a day.
