Needles

[wnt2grow]

I have been pinning over a year, never had a fear or a problem until lately. The last 4 times I have pinned I hit a nerve or something 3 times. I was trying to pin yesterday it did it again, I pulled the pin out and haven't tried again, well about to try now and I am scared to pin. Also are Vet needles different? I get mine at a local farm supply store.

Try a different site to inject, to be honest ive no idea if vet needles are different but there isnt a chance id use them anyway, id stick with human needless for sure lol

Farm store? Why would a farm store have needles? Maybe those are thicker needles than the normal ones like one of the sponsors of this site.

The farm store has them for injecting farm animals, I use a 22g 1in in my quad. I have had no problem until just recently.

I agree with Marcus try a different site. In your case it may be purely physical but Ive noticed things like this are sometimes psychological. I got a really bad infection in my quad on my first pin. I kept pinning but never got comfortable there. I switched to shoulders. I would describe the sensation as painless and so easy to do that there is little to no "psych-out" pre pin. I have heard the same story I just told, but told by someone who hates to pin delts. So try a dif site.

Thanks guys for all the help, I have needles on order, I just got done pinning in my quad, and will try shoulders. I am injecting 2.5 ml is that to much for shoulders?

There is nothing wrong with using vet syringes. They are sterile just like any other syringe. I used to buy mine from fleet farm but no longer do just because I don't like using 21 g needles. Buy them online.

Yes, in my opinion.

Try laying down on your side and injecting into your glutes.

Then , if you feel anxious or dizzy, you have no where to fall to.

23X1-1/2

Best

Agreed.. I never do more than 2ml in delts and that's pushing it for me. Are you tightening up before you inject becuase you're tense about pinning? Relax and take it slow. Don't forget to aspirate.

i hade the same problem with legs. got a big infection in them. so now i just jab in ass. try using a 21g. you might think its better.

its not uncommon to hit nerves when injecting quads depending on what area of the quad..I seem to hit them more often if I go straight down from the top of my leg IMO I find it better to go in from the outside of my leg

See I am also going in from the top(if we are thinking along the same lines). My quads are not as big as I would like and can't seem to find the right exercise to bulk them. Either way I figured straight down would be less of a chance on hitting a nerve.

LOL thats were I bought my last box they work fine but are a lil bit more punchier than a 23 ill stick with what I got for a while LOL

i had no problem pinning quads, for about 3 or 4 cycles. then suddenly, i was hitting a nerve everytime i tried to inject. so i havent injected quads in years now. i rotate glutes and delts.
