Possible Bad injection

[robman0079]

Hey i just injected 1cc of test into my glute and i dont think i hit the muscle. How possible is it that i could get an infection or something from this? When will i notice symptoms if any? I use new sterile needles and clean everything before use, top of the vial, etc.

o and its test eth btw

if you missed the muscle and did a sub-q injection i think that all will happen (as long as everything was sterile, and the gear is clean) is the gear will not be absorbed fullly or something like that.

i would wait for one of the more experinced guys for an answer, until you stop worrying !

It would be difficult to miss to be honest.
Anywhere around here is good, and no thats not my pretty butt.

[robman0079]

no its that that i missed the site ( its pretty hard to miss that big of a site), i just dont think the needle punctured the muscle.

[Freakish]

you cant miss a muscle unless you really fat and used a 5/8 pin and didnt go deep enough.what makes u think u 'missed your muscle'?

[robman0079]

it just didnt have that pinch that it usually has and no i only have 4% BF so i would say im not fat at all. this is my fourth inj. it just felt weird, and my friend got an infection so everytime i inj i am always worried i will get an infection or some bs.

Unless you're really fat, or just completely wussed out with the needle and barely stuck it in, I don't know how you could miss the muscle.

He probably used a dodgey method of measuring his bf% haha. I sincerely doubt it's 4%, but I love to be proved wrong

[lovbyts]

Agreed, 4% I think someone with that BF% would know what they are doing and it would be VERY hard to miss a muscle.

Dont sweat it, even IF you did miss the muscle it will still absorb and be of use and if you did clean things then no infections worries. Like asked before, what was the needle length?

BTW I have NEVER done the glutes, I like the quads because I can see what I am doing.

[fattymcbutterpants]

i have always done quads for every cycle until now and i just started a week and a half ago doing glutes and I actually love it. I was running into the problem of scar tissue build up in my glutes and i was having problems with them bleading alot after the injection. Everytime i take a shot in my glutes im afraid i wont hit the muscle and im pretty lean too but its just me worrying but still i poke around and find the spot with the least distance of fat to go through when flexed then relax and inject in that spot after i wipe it down with alcohol. Lol on one butt cheek it helps because i have a mole or freckle or something and right below that is the perfect spot to inject on my glute because there is hardly any bodyfat so its easy to find lol

i get my BF to do my glutes. he's a RN of 25 years, so im set.

as for missing? you wont feel a pinch if you hit the muscle.....

the first few injections you do will suck. virgin muscle with the oil in it, kinda sucks. but that goes away.

as for infections - sounds like re-used needles (injection or even heavier gauge used to load oil suspension into the syringe). or poor hygene/sterilization techniques.

if using a vial with a rubber top, use an alch swab on the top. swab the rubber and let it sit for a few seconds and let the alch do it's job.

also, keep the the needle in the plastic sleeve, and keep the sleeve in the packaging it comes in. keeps it sterile so it doesnt touch other surfaces.

wash your hands before you even prep your needles.

if you and your friends are getting infections, it may not be the gear....

Glute injections are tricky, you can squeeze your whole injection between fat layer and a muscle. This way u make a pocket , that might seem as an infection lump. It can even be hot on touch. Im sure it happened with everyone before. Just massage it and dont inject in that glute until its completely dissolved. Plus if u want to avoid it next time use 1,5 in needle. I mean hopefully u dont have 2in of margarine layer down there. Some people might not believe that u missed a muscle using a long needle , but trust me if you do injections yourself , sometimes the needle doesn't go in at 90 degrees angle.So, if u're somewhat new to this whole thing , u might miss it with 1 inch and even 1 1/4''.

[T_Own]

4%? yeah i wanna see that too. with that, you could hit a muscle anywhere with a quarter inch needle.

i just think the guy wasn't ready yet, people want to rush to achieve what they want to achieve and they end up jacking it up.
other than that u don't need to worry ive seen people done worse
