Pain during needle insertion

[Honkey_Kong]

Hey guys,
Ran my first cycle back in 2006 and since then I've ran countless cycles. I took a good 3 year break and just now started back up on Test and Anavar. However I totally forgot about my left glute inject site being a bit problematic. I know where to to shoot, my right side is never an issue but at least 75% of the time I pin in the left glute I get a slight sharp pain just before Im all the way in so I end up just going with the right side or a delt shot. I think being that its not 100% of the time that perhaps while twisting to that side I may being going in at a slight angle. What are your guys experience with such cases? Its not a paralyzing pain or anything but I'm nervous it could be a nerve which is why I pull back, or is it just scar tissue from regular shots? Again, its not super painful but just enough to alarm me.
Thanks in advance.

If you hit a nerve, you would have no doubt about what you hit. It's probably a little scar tissue (since you said you've hit that spot a lot in the past). You can try slightly moving the location around or hitting other muscles. I wouldn't recommend the quads, but delts are good.

LOL, thats a fact. If you have to ask then the answer is no. If it felt like you got hit with 110v and your muscle jumped several inches then yes it was a nerve.

Yeah its easy to build up scar tissue and it seems to hang around a long time. Also MOST people IMO inject way to fast. Ive been on TRT over 10 years and it didnt take me long to realize that most of the time the pain/discomfort the next day and even sometimes bruising is not from the needle but from you blasting the liquid in the syringe into a muscle at mach speed.

I take at least 30 seconds or more to inject 1cc. I also dont dart anymore. Again, IMO going slow you are less likely to hit a nerve or at least can back out easily if you get close.

Another little tip (pun intended) if you have to insert the syringe more than once; say you are mixing test, deca, tren or whatever for a cycle after you have done your pull put on a new needle. You would be surprised how dull the needle gets and is a lot harder to break your skin.

Yeah, I remember somebody on here saying they go 1 min per CC. The more gentle you go, the less discomfort you experience (generally).
