    Scar Tissue Question

    Seems like near the end of every cycle I've developed a problem in one of my main injection sites. Last cycle was right glute(which has been g2g this time) an my current cycle my right quad. Even with a 4 week break I tried to pin an soon as I pushed in(had to push harder than normal) my quad spasmed inwardly away from needle. Weird feeling. Needless to say I pulled out an pinned a delt instead. Biggest question I have is if scar tissue is the cause does scar tissue ever completely heal or is it always remain? Like I stated b4 my glute gave me similar problems last cycle but has been g2g this cycle. I always pin with 22g 1.5

    Scar tissue is not the cause of spasms. Likely you hit a nerve or came close to it.

    You'll know if you have scar tissue from the following signs:
    - Pushing the needle in requires more force than usual
    - You will have a ripping/tearing sound as you push the needle in
    - Once in, if the pin is in scar tissue, you will not be able to push any of the oil in no matter how hard you press
    - You likely won't be able to aspirate either, no matter how hard you pull

    Hitting scar tissue should not cause spasms.

    If you do manage to inject in scar tissue and you try aspirating there in a week you will most likely aspirate oil as it has a hard time being absorbed.

    The last actual pin I did in my quad it was extremely difficult to push in but I forced it in anyway. Lol. Next time I tried I aspirated and a cream colored substance came into the plunger so I threw out that whole shot not knowing WTF it was.

    Sorry for jumping in, but how long does scar tissue last, or is it permanant?

    Do you pin in the same (exact) spot everytime (rotating of course)? Not something I'd recommend & do. Curious if anyone actually prefers that?

    Oil from your last injection It's pretty nasty, I push it back in and start hitting other areas. It will heal over time, give it 6 months and you should be able to inject there again. Try doing your injections in different spots. Biceps, triceps, chest, lats, traps, chest, delts, glute, ventro-glute, quad, calf tons of spots to hit..
