[weekend]

I'm not following. It's hard to push the oil thru, but It doesn't push back and make the plunger move away from the injection site...

Not push back, but a lot of pressure. In other words, the plunger will move a tenth and then it is almost like its clogged. That's when I count to ten and push and it'll give a little and then act the same way.

King said it would take a while when I talked to him about it. Basically I got the first 2 tenths of a cc in pretty easy but then I started getting resistance. So what I did was count to ten and then push until I hit resistance again.

I know it seems kind of extreme but the spanking my quad is giving me is making me a little timid.

What should it be JB I think you mentioned a minute or so?

It shouldn't take minutes. Awhile meaning 30 seconds or longer perhaps even a minute. I push really slow on my slins but it shouldn't take minutes. I dont know what could cause you that much pressure/resistance.

I do get some resistance but nothing like you have described. I don't know what else to offer to remedy this. Perhaps someone else can chime in.

King,

First and foremost, I apologize that I misquoted you. I guess I'll try it again on Friday. I've got minor PIP from it but it's so much better then what I went through with my quad. I just don't to force the oil in there and create a problem that way. I'll try to make sure the needle stays still. Maybe it was a fluke?

 

[Hueghe]

How long did yours last, what are you pinning and what symptoms did you have?

Mine lasted about 1.5 days. was a sore throat and the hot and cold flashes. Just felt kind shitty for those 1.5 days. When it cleared up i felt great though.

Ok, thanks. I didn't get sore throat, did get the hot and cold flashes and a knotted stomach. Good to know though that the sore throat is possible.

No problem man... You know its all good. I just hope you can get your injections down a little better. Practice does make perfect...I know you dont want the pain of this shit but it will get better the further along you go.

Tao are you heating the oil?

What gauge slin?

Sorry if you've already posted this...

I heat and use 28g and have only had a tougher time pushing it through when I pin cold oil. Like 50-60 degrees in the house and didn't warm it up.

1-4,
I use a 29 gage half inch needle. I used my heating pad to heat the oil

 

[1forthegeeks]

It sounds like your doing everything right Tao. Sounds like it was just a bad pin.

I'm sending some positive vibes your way so hopefully it will turn around for you bro!

 

[Mr. Joe]

Please tell me you're not pinning your quad any longer. If you're still experiencing PIP i would switch to glute, preferably lateral glutes (what people round here call ventrolateral glutes, which is funny and incorrect but whatever). You can look it up on youtube its easy to find and should diminish th PIP considerably.

 

[weekend]

Personally I think the oil is actually too hard to push thru a 29.

But I don't heat it.

 

[weekend]

Also quads still my favorite place to pin!

 

[ApeShitFuckJacked]

You may have hit a vien or something nasty just my .02

That's usually the difference between a bad and good pin

Have you ever tried drawing on the plunger before injecting? If you see any significant amount of blood. Start over brother.

Yes, I think I'm done with the quads, at least for a couple of weeks. I'm going delts and glutes. My first delt stick went well and I'm still in the same vial. Thank you for the concern. If I had said yes I'd expect a tongue lashing

I'm scared of my quads right now. I also hit a vein in the same quad so it's turning taboo. Any other places?

Yes, I always pull back and the only time I hit a vein I knew right away. Talk about a self correcting problem. I appreciate the concern though. I want to find three different sites. I've got delts and glutes...

If by glutes you mean dorsal gluteal, go for the ventrogluteal too. It's a little weird, but it's damn painless, and the PIP is manageable anyways just because of what muscle it is. Worst case scenario it's a little stiff crossing your legs.

I'll have to look at what that is. I hit up high and on the outer portion so I'm not near the sciatic. CS, where are you suggesting specifically?
