IM Injection in deltoid?

[VenicePump]

Yes when doing IM injection. I should let my muscle relax huh? Because yesterday I did one while I had my muscle flexed and it like bumped out for a minute after injecting then went away. Now my deltoid is SORE AS HELL. I mean yea usually it always is sore just a tad bit, but not like it is now.

Is that because I had my muscle flexed and not relax when doing injection?

I cant answer the flexed question but after injecting once in the delt I am sticking to thighs, burned like hell going in and sore like a mofo. Never and issue with thighs except maybe just atad sore or hitting a nerve.

I have worked 13 years as a nurse and have given thousands of IM injections. IM injections are never to be given in flexed muscle. Administering IM medication into flexed muscle will result in pain. If you had delt flexed how did you stretch the skin and then bunch up the muscle before injection?

Delts are generally a very painfree easy place to hit. You no doubt did something wrong do not give up as this will most likely be your favorite place to hit once you become comfortable with it.

Not sure what your asking. I just flexed the muscle so it was visible as possible. Then stuck the pin in all the way and injected. My muscles were pretty tight and full too. I think what happen is that inserting that additional liquid into my muscle cause the pain since it was so pumped during the time of injecting into it.

I always have a little bit of soreness though afterwords, just not like this. Everyone else on the forum reports the same thing. Even the day I went to doc to have my first one done I did. On the other hand when I inject into my glutes I practically after NO soreness at all afterwords. I was reading on the internet from some doctors. They said the reason for that for is because the glute muscle is a LOT larger, so it has more room to take stuff in.

Don't flex. Doesn't it make sense that a relaxed muscle will take the oil better than a muscle that is contracted and hard?

I’m referring to proper technique for administering IM injections into the delt muscle. You never flex when administering IM injections.

Why would you flex? I worry about accidentally flexing and bending the needle and trying to hold a steady flex would seem impossible.

Ive done many delt injections with no problems. Recently tried a few chest/pects also no issues unless I touch/massage it after. I find it best to not touch the are after injecting and let things distribute naturally.

Not so much refering to you ! But my experience with 80% of the nurses I have delt with is they are in a hurry and don't pay that close of attention to bedside manner when they do give injection ! I have had to refuse injection from some nurses due to their lack of knowledge and their insecurities as to touching a males body to actually find out where the major muscle mass is . Of course this is female nurses injecting males !

I had one ER nurse about to inject an anti inflamatory steroid into close to my waste and I refused the shot and a male nurse came in and ask me what the problem was and he pop it right in the proper place in my butt cheek ; the previous nurse was actually going to give me an IM shot in my hip ? I have had a lot of Trauma in my 53 years and spent probably over a year of my life in the hospital ! You do have to have a little injection knowledge even for so called professionals ?

I am having trouble with Quad injection ! Npp and pain for days after a top center mass injection 5 days of pain so bad I limped ?

Ok, here is a little common sense. No hang on this thinking is just way out there. I said this just the other day on another thread.
Lets think of your muscle fibers and tissue as a SPONG. So you want to take a needle and stick it into the sponge and inject this oil, (fluid) and you want the sponge to suck it up and absorb it.
what do ya thinking rocketeers. if the sponge is squeezed tight it is going to make it harder to push the needle in. Now with that difficulty what do you think you are going to do to the sponge (tissues/fibers) you are going to tear the shit out of them on a small scale. PAIN ya think , hello Now the other thing is try to think of a compressed sponge (squeezed) and how does it absorb. It needs to be soft and loose. So you figure this out and think about what the nurse told someone else AND WHY, Huh Wow. ...crazy mike

Long hours, heavy case loads, and short staffing cause a lot of nurses to become burnt out. Some nurses go through the motions and don’t really pay attention to what they are doing. Male nurses don’t have that option. We are constantly trying to prove ourselves in a female dominated work environment. Nurses that graduated from school I attended had to have completed at least three hundred IM injections before we could graduate. Hospital I work for requires that nurses demonstrate proper technique for IV and IM administration of medication every three months.

Please don't think I was refering to you ! I live in GA. need I say more ?

I am going to try this on my next pin. Looking forward to it!!!!

[HRTstudent]

omg I would never want to do an injection while flexed... it just seems like it would be so painful because lets face it... a flexed muscle moves a lot!

when I did delts it was so easy and the most pain free area to inject. but since doing subQ I've never looked back...

[BuzzardMarinePumper]

I know this has been discussed in other threads but SubG for my oil injections tanked my Testosterone level !

With that said; my less than knowledgable Dr. is totatlly ingornant to Testosterone Level compared with E2 ?

Is ti fair to say E2 goes up and Testosterone Injected stays the same your testosterone level will drop because I went Subq and my E2 was 70 with high side of normal being 29 my test level started at 78 2 mths later 468 E2 67 2 mths later E2 70 and Injected SubQ Testosterone level 298 ?

Feedback welcome ?

Oh get this Dr. saw no reason to retst E2 or Testosterone even though he had scriped Generic Adex 2 mths earlier at 1 mg per day ? WTF ?

I did not take is script I tried to cut the pills and they crumbeled and I thought NPP had tanked my libibo but I stopped my Ai and Libido came back with NPP 100 mg every 3.5 days ( great for joint pain and recovery time is over night ) 250 mg of Cypionate per week ! + 110 of Propioniate every 3.5 days. Dr Scripted 200 mg EOW WTF ?

To Correct stupid Dr. I inject Cypionae 250 mg @ .50 every 3.5 days. with a Propionate booster of 110 mg every 3.5 days and 100 mg of NPP Deca every 3.5 days and droping NPP to .55 mg every 3.5 days ! Then in 2 week to ,55mg 1 x per week . I weight AI on postal scale and take .30mg every 3rd day feel great and me nor my Dr know what my E2 is or my Testosterone level ? But I feel like a million bucks and I have enough staminia to keep up with my 18 year old jock son on an all day outing on the paintball field . I am clueless as to what my Dr. wants to do nor do I really give a ship !

Feedback and comments welcome ! Feel great , best in 30 years !
