stupid question

[frytlon]

i have been using pharm test from my md, and decided to supplement it with ugl, since I thought I needed more than he would prescribe. My gf was not here, as she usually sticks me in the gluts, so I used the top of my thigh, which is where I pin my b12 shots. I used 1ml of test e, 300. Where I stuck it, it swelled up, not real big, and was quite tender, like a deep muscle bruise. Dirty gear or just a bad location?

Not a stupid question. In fact I have seen this brought up several times in the last several months. I cant speak about your gear, but I will never pin the top of thigh again. Twice I have gotten an infection. Had to get on antibiotics. Both times red, swollen, hot to the touch, and very painful. I would rather dodge all the pin knots on my glutes than go through that again. Everyone has their favorite spots and some have had trouble where others succeed.

By the way, you need to learn how to stick yourself.

I can speak with experience that the outside of the thigh is the preferred location when injecting my epi-pens (intra-muscular). I messed up and did the top of the thigh also and it did the same thing I couldn't walk for the next day or two but I was fine. As for your gear, I cant say if its good or bad?

Where on your quads did you pin? You should flex your leg, pick the part on your quads the has the most muscle and bulges out and go for it. If you look at diagram of the human body, the middle uppder portion of your quads contains tendons. If you pinned up there Im sure it would hurt. I've been pinning just fine slightly above the middle on the outside (not too far out). Using 23 and 25 gauge. I prefer 25... its nice and painless. 23 leaves me a little sore.

Thanks. I actually pinned it lower towards the knee than I do with the b12. No reason, just not thinking. by the way, chris, that is EXACTLY what happened, red, hot, swollen, and hurts. Problem is that I am allergic to pain. When I feel pain, my eyes water, and I make this constant sobbing noise.

Question, did you use that particular gear again, and what were the results? I am a little leary now.

Ditto! I did a IM injection in my thigh and I will never do that again. It hurt for weeks! Your gear is prolly ok
