Some PIP questions.

[DECLAN]

In the middle of the quad? Thus friday i pinned my kinda middle of the quad for the first time with 32g needle and only one third of the amount since i do three shots a week. It has given me crazy fckn pip. I have been limping like a mofo and been icing it since morning.
My glutes are a bit soft and when i use 32g needle on glutes they get lumpy and pip lingers for days. Should i get a bigger needle for glutes?

Really, damn, I love the top of quads shots they’re painless. How much do you pin, mine can tolerate two 1 ml shots just give it one inch space apart.

As for glutes, if you hold a little but more fat maybe use a longer needle.

Well, I have Ace Pharma test E 300. I have been taking 210mg a week. So I divide the dose in three small doses so each dose isn’t that much. I have been on this bottle for almost 2 months now. Took a middle quad shot for the first time and it’s been killing me. Yup, i have had taken shots on upper outer side of the quads and they are not that painful at all. Pip is there but it doesn’t feel as bad as this shot i took in the middle of the quad.
You can’t get infection from the same bottle if your hygiene is pretty good and you use alcohol swabs before and after taking shots? I always shower before i take my shot.

You should be good then, maybe virgin muscles if it’s your first time doing that part of the quads.

If you have done proper area swabbing and have sterile gear, chances of abscess should be near zero.

It feels much better this morning. I guess icing helped a lot. This shid was killing me.

That sucks man, I hope it’s not the gear itself but just virgin muscles. Do you have pip in your other injection sites?

When i first injected that gear on my lat that pip was crazy qnd stayed for weeks. I was on syn pharma before it had pip but wasn’t as bad as this. In glutes this gear causes quite a bit of pip too maybe cus it’s mostly subQ. This morning i took a shot on the outer side of the quad that gap between hamstrings and quad muscles. That 3-4inch wide area run down from hip to approximately your outside of the knees. There’s pip to the touch and hopefully it doesn’t flare up like the one i have mentioned. I’ll know by tomorrow.

I got pretty bad pip from my very first homebrew (50/50 Test P MastP) but used hot water on the second time and so far it's unnoticeable. I'm not sure if I need to warm every syringe in the future or just brew longer, or just get used to it, but it sure helped in this case.

I backload 29g 5/6 or half inch and still go IM on quads, I don’t pin the sides though, I inject on the top front part.

It might be a little slow and you have to pin more spots since I only use 1 cc at a time. But since I am using such a small gauge, I don’t develop that much scar tissue to cause knots or hard tissue buildup.

Give it a try, I’ve switched for 2 yrs now and I won’t be going back to barrels anytime soon.

It might work well with your particular anatomy, but just FYI:

[...] the rectus femoris is not appropriate as a safe IM injection site because of the risk of damage to the descending branch of the LCFA (lateral circumflex femoral artery) and the muscle branch of the femoral nerve to the vastus lateralis.

Gotya, so far so good though, the sides of the quads are what causes major pip and would paralyze me. Been doing upper quads for years now, easiest and most painless injections aside from the chest.
