Botched injection?

[Fireguy40]

I injected into my quad this morning ( like I have done dozens of times) and there was a little pain, then when I pulled needle out, had little more blood than usual. Now I have a bump that kind of looks like a spider bite if I had to describe it. Tiny bit of pain by bump...any idea what might have happened? Did I miss the muscle and maybe just sub inject. I use a 1" 22 gauge pin. I am assuming the test will be absorbed regardless? Thanks in advance.

Ps It seems like it is going down now.....

you simply hit a vein, I do this once in a while, in fact now I have a bump and pain that goes along with it, and this was SQ! it also could mean a small infection! no biggie, just avoid that spot until its completely healed.

Just got one of these in my delt yesterday. It happens, no worries...

I get it from time to time its just blood pressure form going through a vessel.
if its there the next day then i would keep eye on it.
just leave it after a shot.

That's why I always like the glutes...this never happens to me when I inject there.

Do you inject yourself in the glute? I have tried to turn enough to jab, aspirate , etc myself and always ended up pinning elsewhere. Any tips?

Yea, myself.

I am right handed and hit the right cheek at about same spot where the upper right corner of where you jean pocket would be.

I can aspirate as well.

Ok Gd- 2 questions. Do you pinch the skin at the target area w/ your left hand b4 the jab or just bang it in? and how do you hold the syringe- like a pencil and jab down or I guess from the right to the left into the glute, or do you hold it w/ the needle up and jab it that way (if your hand was flat and palm facing the ground- needle up or down?)

You do realize you just jinxed yourself.

When I started I used my index finger and thumb on hip bone to get the right location on the glute.

I have been alternating sides since I started with (rabbit foot in hand) no issues haha.

I also have the b12 shots in the glute so my concern was soreness from so many shots but no issues yet.

Do you do 2 shots 1 for test and one for B12?

[MyteeJ]

Do you do 2 shots 1 for test and one for B12?

Yes 2 "big shots" per week. One doc suggested mixing the b12 and test to save on syringes but I don't feel the need to do that.

Thats what I do. I draw up .7 of test and .5 of B12 in the same syringe every 5 days. I do it that way to save my ass not syringes. LOL

I've always had trouble using glutes & quads pain-wise. Could I be doing something wrong or are these just difficult spots for some people in your opinion?

you need to relax your muscle, probably hard to do with your size LOL! I used to get sore allot then I found out when I did cardio after the shots I didn't get sore! I guess flexing and working the muscle after the shot kind of massaged it and prevented it from getting inflamed, kept the blood flowing if you will.

Thanks, maybe I can try that. I probably have a mental block now too after having bad experiences with those sites...

once out of every 100 times i shoot in my quads I get a crazy pain... which is why i switched to SubQ from IM.

When I did IM though, I would hit the injection spot with a heating pad and a quick massage to the injection spot and never had that issue

So you're telling us you inject subq??? I sure hope you mean hcg or HGH

Good point on saving the keister lol! I foresee a day when I switch to that but for now I can handle two biggies a week.
