Went into glute at 60 degree angle. Damn.

[SomeLiveForTheBill]

I use a 1.5" 23 g for ass pins. I hit the right glute this morning. I always pin high on the glute and on the outer quadrant of the cheek. I'm about 14% bodyfat so I'm probably fine, but this morning I went in a little more sideways than preferred. Probably a 60 degree angle instead of 90. The injection hurt as soon as i punctured the skin and of course there was some blood after pulling out. Yes I aspirated. What I'm concerned about is not getting the needle in deep enough to my glute muscle. It was a poor injection and I'm pissed. Anybody else do this on occasion? No need to repin is there?

I wouldnt think you need to repin...just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesnt get red or hot..sometimes when you go in that way the oil will not disperse quickly enuff and if this happens it can stay a bit too long and fester then infection can begin...i mean dont get alarmed but it sounds like something i did a few years ago...this might not be the case ...

No signs of abscess thus far. I'm so locked into this cycle. Just want to make sure i'm doing everything right.

[Bonaparte]

You're fine. There is NO reason for concern.

If you had not injected the stuff deep enough and it was subcutaneous instead of intramuscular you would probably have a real bad burning for 8+ hours afterward. Don't ask me how I know this....

similar happened to me recently...doubt i was 60 degrees but everything else the same...sore spot seemed to come about a day later and then for a couple days so far...pinned wednesday...just assumed i knicked a vein
