Continuous glute injections can lead to sciatica

[The Dude]

As most that have been using for over a decade I have some scar tissue in my glutes. Apparently mine has contributed to some of my lower back issues. The last thing to be done (other than the frequent inversion table use and adjustments) is to break up the scar tissue in my ass.
So for any of you that get sciatica symptoms (shooting pain in legs) make sure you're rotating your sites and massaging the glutes.

Dude do you hit any other areas besides your glutes?

 

[The Dude]

Occassionally delts. I've laid off the biceps and pecs after reading some horror stories, but I need to start again.

What horror stories, I assume infection/abcess? It shouldn't matter where you inject, if you use sanitary methods you are no more likely to get an infection in your bicep than you are in your glute.

I hit glute, quads, delts, biceps triceps and calves. All pretty easy. I've also hit my traps and lats with IGF, but never with oils. Might try that sooner or later though.

delts and glutes, sometimes quads to give the glutes a rest

right now my left glute is done due to scar tissue from an abcess...

my right glute has 2 marble sized knots due to scar tissue from injecting

rotating between the delts, glutes, and shoulders should give you enough sites depending on what your running

I've seen where people hit a nerve in the bicep and the muscle goes dead... scary shit

I used to hit my tris but Oldschool has to do it and for some reason when someone else gives me a shot it hurts worse and I freak out, I prefer to do them myself. I shoot my shoulders, rotating them although I am only doing two shots per week right now, front delt (ouch for me), side and rear rotating. I try not to hit my ass if I can avoid it as for a women it tends to square out the rear in back shot. GH in the ass but that is no biggie. I absolutely hate hitting my bis with even a slin pin so hell no to anything else.

yeah fuck all that

Only body parts I don't pin are my quads and my dick. Every other body part is gettn hit

I've been rotating left and right glutes for the past 10 weeks. One injection a week with a 22 gauge 1.5 ". Probably going to do 4 more weeks so that's gonna be 7 injections into each glute. Not planning on doing any more cycles for at least a year , should i be concerned and move to my vastus lateralis?

I think you are fine with that many, when you start running eod compounds and multiple drugs at a time you will want to start switching sites. Ive been doing my HRT dose in my glutes for about the last 6 months. I have sciatic problems but its due to herniated disk issues. Hopefully this isnt contributing to it though. I think I will start switching more though now that i read this.

Goes dead? Just temporarily right? Or is it permanent? That is scary, I've never heard of that.

I think in most cases temporary, but I believe somebody on the board had this happen to one of their quads and it took a long time to comeback. Come to think of it, it could have been Presser it was years ago so i could be mistaken. I have hit nerves in quads too so it scared me away from doing them anymore. I generally just hit glutes and delts now.

 

[BiggerStronger]

I'm pretty sure I caused some nerve damage hitting my pecs one time. It felt horrible. It hurt from my outside chest and ran all the way down to my elbow like I hit my funny bone - for a few days. I swear it doesn't contract as much as the other side too.

I've hit a nerve in my quad before but all that happened was my leg twitched a little and then it was over. Maybe I just barely hit it, or maybe it wasn't a major nerve. I never thought twice about it, now I'm worried about hitting one again.

I think I ran into that thread where Presser did that. I read through a lot of threads in here lol....

Do you pin with IGF on your quads or no pinning, period?

 

[BEASTZ6]

I have been pinning in my hip flexors lately with no problems.

 

[big in vegas]

I used to use the bis until I hit a nerve which literally dropped me. After that I said never again, but I will apply IGF to them. Just not pinning gear there, as for everything else, it's a go. Delts, tris, glutes, chest, quads, calves, bis (if I can continue to reach)

 

[big in vegas]

Oh and I won't hit traps either, too many damn nerves there
