I did my first shot on Tuesday, but the past few days have been hell. The pain is very bad. Feels similar to a bad muscle pull. I injected on the top , middle of my thigh. I may have injected a little fast towards the end. I swear I could feel the liquid enter then almost run down my leg slightly. There is not too much pain at the injection site, but around my knee cap it is quite bad. Similar to a bad bruise without the darkness of the skin. I put a wrap around it to compress it which helps a bit while walking around. The injection does not look inflamed or bruised. Is this normal? Did I do something wrong? Infected? I'm thinking I may not have put the needle in deep enough. It was a 25g 1" with about 3/4 of it entering. If the needle is not deep enough would the pain spread from my mid-thigh down to my knee? Please any info would be greatly appreciated as I'm scheduled for my next injection today.

My first TT sust injection hurt like a mutha and I did EVERYTHING correctly. My legs swelled and I even got this god awful sick feeling for a few days and was unable to train. Once my body grew accustomed to the foreign substance I was introducing, though, the pain and swelling subsided.

hmm...could be. It's weird it hurts on the top and right side of my knee. Almost like a bad muscle pull or bruise. Or both together. :mad:

Did you go slow? I always go real slow. I figure what the hell, I don't have another patient waiting, or feel like getting done faster for any reason. So, I afford myself the time to inject slowly. I figure the needle is already in, why not take your time and not shoot a thick liquid in as fast as I can. Remember, all that stuff has to make a place for itself inside your muscle. You wouldn't do that to your girlfriend/ wife right? :eek: :D

Ok, I just finished my 2nd injection. Damn, I am such a jerkoff. I thought that I injected all 2cc into my left thigh, but it turns out there was 1/4cc left. The plunger appeared to be all the way down, but from the angle I was at I couldn't see that I wasn't finished. Oh well, I pulled out. Put it back in a different part of my thigh. Aspirated. Then finished. I'll see if this one turns out the same as the last. My right knee is feeling a bit better. This injection seemed to sting a bit more. Maybe it's from yesterdays leg workout. and my legs were tense. :confused:

look at the quad drawing at www.spotinjections.com
I've injected into muscle #1 and had that 'juice running down to my knee' feeling. And it gets sore afterwards.
I now try to hit muscle #2 everytime.

Do the glutes for a while. Much better imho.

Never tried the #4 muscle (in the picture) It's pronounced on my leg and would be easy to hit.

Oh man injecting sounds like it could get painful especially if you keep on missing and drawing blood... ; /

The first few in any muscle always get pretty sore. Don't worry about it. On the quads, make sure you are hitting the vastus lateralus (on the outer portion) and not the center.

Yeah, actually my left quad doesn't hurt too much. Just a bit sore.

Bstrong - LMAO....yep, I think I already caught the pin fever and it's only my 2nd time.

No pain no gain is right. Well, except when they got to cut your legs off cause of infection. :(
