First quad injection

[vinceproduction]

Well, my wife usually stabs my glutes, but she's been in the hospital for a few days with pneumonia. So rather than miss a shot I watched a couple videos, got my 25 gauge 1.5" and did my first quad injection. All went well, but about halfway in it felt weird like a muscle twitch, but then went in fine. Aspirated, no probs and pushed it in. Massaged for a minute. No pain at that point, but damn it's sore now!

That's all normal

Thanks! I was pretty concerned at first that maybe I hit a nerve or something!

As long as u stick to the lateral quad, half way down the quad u will not hit anything important.

My quad injections were usually a bit sore for a day or two. What was really "ouchy" was to hit a nerve on the stab. Don't think you need to go all the way in on your quads with a 1.5" pin...unless you are really well muscled.

sometimes is just the stress of doing it on your own without noticing you might of contracted your muscle happen to me the first time i did it myself too
