Swollen Knee/Quad/Calf

[TG1]

Yeah I remember my neighbour reused his. I had a friend that worked as a pharmacy tech and would always hook me up. Never even thought about reusing. Later I would just order boxes by the 100s. Still do it today lol.

 

[Poppy]

That’s how I do it too.

 

[Poppy]

They’re cheap enough

 

[TG1]

Yep. Should always be considered part of the cost of doing this shit.

You pinned the inside of your quad?

 

[Jonny]

I’ve never pinned quads too many horror stories.

 

[Dirtnasty]

I keep thinking of trying traps but I just throw 3ml everywhere. But I’m giant

 

[Xpliot]

Damn y’all pin traps and lats!! Never seen that lol I stick to my butt and delts. I’m a sissy lol quads scare me. I did it a few times and idk hahaha

You pinned the inside of your quad?

It was the outside about an inch above my knee.

Rookie move I know.

 

[Dirtnasty]

Inch above knee is there even muscle there

 

[Poppy]

No I don’t think so

 

[NeuroRN]

Ouch. I think your body is just angry at you. As you now know… stick to the meaty parts.

Too much for a injection there IMHO. Next, it will be sore for 7-10 days. Take Motrin every 6 hours. 600mg minimum. Or Aleve every 10 hours. I’m more of a Motrin guy. Infections are rare if you pin correctly. My guess is 3 ml in a quad, fuck, I’d be angry just thinking about that. Or you can go to the ER. I’m guessing you’ll feel better in 3 or 4 days.

Cheers for the information. I took some Aleve earlier and it feels better. Just swollen and a pain to walk on. Will keep an eye on it and

Going to be that way for a week. Trust an old guy that’s done this more than I’d like to admit. Never had infection but man, PIP I’ve had made me cry a couple times. . Warm bath and a bit of massage if you can afterwards will help speed recovery. Not that deep tissue shit. Just a nice massage to keep it moving.

Me to. They were not easy to come by back in the day. I’d flush them with alcohol and use 2-3x

 

[Kad1]

Yeah I’ve ordered box’s of 100 for years now but in the day wasn’t so easy

 

[PHD]

Holy shit 3ml in one spot??? Dude way to much no matter where you put it. It’s most likely not infected. It’s oil it has no where to go and your body sees it as a foreign object so it’s naturally going to attack it.

Do this get a heating pad and wrap it around the area. Buy some aspercream it will help with the pain at the injection site. Rub it all around that area that’s hurting.

Can also take an epsom salt bath.

For the love of god guys never inject more than 2ml into a large muscle (gluts or quads)

Traps are pretty easy to hit. I watched someone else do it a couple times. Then figured I’d give it a go. I use the same as on Delts 25g × 5/8".

 

[Dirtnasty]

I use 1” for everything now
