Muscle twitch quad IMI

[Jo_seef]

Does your muscle twitch or spasm when performing an IM injection in the quad?
Mine will do this pretty often and it's not pleasant.

 

[Mountain_Man]

Yes sr quads and delts I hate it and it painful sometimes

 

[Jo_seef]

Good, I'm glad you feel it too. JK. What and why is that? Is there a way to prevent the twitch?

 

[Mountain_Man]

I think we nip a nerve or hit it I have got lumps big as golf balls when I first started now I found my sweet spots but it happens from time to time esp in calf shots

 

[Jo_seef]

Calf shots sound painful

 

[Mountain_Man]

There are very painless if u hit the right spot like butter

I need a chart. The ones I can ever find online are the 3 basic areas.

 

[Mountain_Man]

There are some charts out there

Never had a muscle twitch while pinning. I can see where that would be a bitch though.

It's something u will never forget feels like u got electrocuted

it's happened to me too, recently in fact, though it's never been painful just nerve wracking

 

[Jo_seef]

Is that a pun?

 

[9mm]

lmao, i do believe it is, although unintentional

 

[Jo_seef]

It is hard to explain the feeling.

I had it happen once. Like others have said, it is not painful, just a surprise and a slight scare. I am more bothered when I nick a vein and it shoots out after I pull the needle away.

I did that the first time I ever pinned my whole quad start jumping for a good 5 or 6 seconds didn't hurt as others have said, at least it was the same for me, but it was my first time so I just stopped and kept looking at it. Horrified probably, kinda cool to see though lol

 

[Presser]

kinda cool to see???? lmao, Ive had it happen many times, no big deal, not kinda cool to see lol, but not a big deal either

I'm not going to go as far as saying there is a direct correlation but I personally feel that it has a lot to do with the amount of mitochondria recruitment and how active they are in the tissue. high-level athletes get spasms and twitches without pinning. Even localized pressure from the needle against the nerve can send impulses off in crazy directions resulting in the twitch.

I compare AAS users to high level athletes because most actually are but besides that the activity going on in the muscle is comprable to that of a high level athlete.

I've had them go on for hours before usually anterior delts..drives me crazy
