Thigh Experience

Just thought I share since I don't post often and some can relate.

Been running my own TRT using Symbiotic's Test E since mid July. Yes, I spent weeks here reviewing multiple sources before I purchased. And yes, this was about two weeks before #FloaterGate struck. Based on the advice of members, I re filtered everything.

Anyway, I inject Monday and Friday in my glutes, but this one particular bottle of test was giving me some pip and I thought I could use a break from that area. A few buddies of mine run TRT from a clinic and inject in their thigh. I have never injected anywhere but the glute, but I thought, if they can do it so can I. I watched a Youtube video four times and felt confident enough. I use a fresh 18g to draw and a fresh 25g to inject. I clean the rubber stopper with alcohol before I draw, and of course, the injection site. My Friday thigh injection was surprisingly smooth and easy. So easy I was like I am doing this every time. No blood and no pain. However, Saturday my thigh felt tight and I had a noticeable limp. By Sunday, I felt like a horse kicked me right in the thigh. I could barely walk, very painful and it was swollen. Not red or hot but I kept looking for an infection. Monday was no better. I planned on visiting an EMO on Tuesday if it didn't feel better. Any way, Tuesday was better so I decided to ride it out. It really took to Thursday for it to feel normal again.

Has anyone had a similar experience? What might have caused this?
Happened to me recently high ba% or new carrier. You should see your body react less and less to future shots. Should.
 
The closest nerves are under the gluteus muscles, so you'd have to really go deep and be in the wrong spot to hit them. There aren't any large veins or nerves to worry about with the VG (that's actually why people started using the VG instead of the dorsogluteal muscle--to reduce risk of hitting the sciatic nerve).

Personally I use a half inch needle for VGs, like everything else. I have very little fat there though, I believe most people use a 1" needle for the area. For VG you really shouldn't ever hit a nerve or vein, there's nothing there as long as you're in the right spot. I had a friend have another friend show him where the VGs are and circle them in pen so that he could cement it into his brain over a few days exactly where they are. For anyone who is struggling with finding the site, I think this is actually a very good idea as it allows you to look in the mirror and see it repeatedly for 3 days or so until the pen comes off. I think he might have ONLY pinned VGs for like 3 weeks too just to get the practice in.

I pin VGs laying down. It is just easier for me, especially because when using luer-lock syringes I always leave a tiny air bubble at the top of the needle to ensure I am not leaving/wasting any oil in the syringe, and laying down makes sure the bubble stays at the top since the needle is then vertical. With this method I never waste more than a single drop or two of my precious oils.

Here is a solid picture of the site for you

And this one, for extreme medical accuracy :D
I will add since being on tren my ass seems to be covered in blood vessels i manage to find with each shot lol. I get a nice small knot almost every time. Even gotten tren cough once from tren enanthate mind you. When i pulled the needle out i saw blood dribble down my ass and was like hmm i wonder if and wham had that metal taste and started coughing. Wasnt too bad. I thought only acetate had that effect but apparently not.

Is your blood pressure high? Or are you on any meds or supps that has a blood thinning effect? Those small blood vessels won't hurt snythung, the fact that it is bleeding so much as to cause a lump seems a little concerning.
 
If its the first time pinning an area, its virgin muscle pip. So you usually would slowly intoduce a compound to avoid this. Like if i pin a new site, i will use .5mL of a low concentration like .5 mL of test cyp 200. Then do that 2 x a week apart. Then up to 1mL stay there for 3 weeks, then 1.5 mL for a bit. Then it wont happen. “Warm” the muscle up.
Thankfully now that I've pinned the quads about 4 times each, they barely hurt any more, only 1cc tho.

In 2-3 weeks, you will be able to do 1.5 then 2.

i need to start another site and going to do outer biceps as i can do inner biceps fine. So will be introducing it very slowly. Starting at .5 mL and increasing.
