    Scar tissue....in your fat?

    Been pinning 4x a day in my belly, now I think I'm running into scar tissue....but I've never heard of that happening before...

    I just 30g needles...anyone else have this issue?

    Scar tissue is formed when collagen (protein) gets aligned after injury. Normally, they're randomized. Since fat is not collagen I didn't know they can scar. What kind of scar tissue is happening to your belly?

    All I know is when I go to pin it feels EXACTLY like when I tried to push through scar tissue in my quad when pinning test.....

    Seriously, I didn't think this could happen lol.

    It's not from a dull needle either, as I use a fresh one to pin with.

    I pin peps 4x a day as well. Try rotating out to your sides/love handles area.

    My mom is diabetic and has been pining insulin few times a day for many years. And she complains on scar tissue, so maybe it is possible.

    One time I did it towards the bottom of my leg (IM) a few weeks back...I knew it was a bad idea but did it anyway....and well...I still get "ghost feelings" down there sometimes.

    Never when I'm lifting though

    I don't think the subcutaneous fat cells themselves will scar, but the dermis certainly will, and you have to shove the needle through that.

    That makes a lot more sense....and I feel like an idiot for not thinking about it lol.

    How long does it take to heal the scar tissue?

    Also, can I backload my test syringe with some of my peps?
