Crippling glute pain after pinning

Hey, wonder if anyone has had a similar experience...

Im using PGW and have once or twice had slight soreness in the glute 2-3 days after pinning, but last week my mate pinned me as usual and about two days later it developed into an absolutely crippling pain. My glute was noticably swollen and the skin was reddened. I batled to walk or even sit and on the third day even developed a bit of a fever. That night i took a Mypaid anti inflamm to try break the fever and settle it and the next morning it was hugely improved, but still had to inject the other side instead. Im always careful with regards to sterility, switch needles after drawing, swab generously etc.

Since then i've had no problems with subsequent injections. At the time of that shot i had jsut finished a course of antibio...

Also it felt as if the shot may have been a tiny bit too lateral in the glute and most of the pain and swelling was over the lateral aspect of the glute and extending as far as my greater trochanter...

Which product did you use? Testen can cause that, but it is not because of sterility issues, but rather the solvents used.

Yup have had plenty pain before but with PGW funny enough nothing.
Do u guys draw back on the stopper to see if any blood entres the syringe?

It was with supertest and equi...

No dont always draw back :blush:

Eish, maybe try it next time to see if u hit a vein or not. Coz if u hit that vein ahhh pain is coming trust me

i have in the past aspirated to check but found that almost alwasys had some amount of blood coming so got over reinjecting... busy for that, haha

I was just shitting myself that it was an infection and i'd end up with an extra hole in my ass :blink:

The SuperTest gives a nice bite due to the combination of the 5 test esters and the concentration!

Nothing to stress about.

Did you wipe the area to be pinned with an alchole swab, remember your skin has bacteria on it and if you don't clean the area with a alchole swab before pinning you can get an infection from the bacteria on your skin.

Strange i get nothing but a little bubble. Maybe i have no blood in me than :laugh:

Interestingly enough,wiping the needle with a clean isopropyl alcohol swab just before inserting the needle for an intra-muscular injection dramatically reduces pain in the injection site and reduces chances of infection.I was told that by a nurse,i do it and it works all the time.

I don't like the idea of wiping the needle, to risky in my book.

yeah i rather use a fresh needle to inject and wipe the skin. But since that pin its been fine, so no clue what the issue was there, clearly not the product, maybe the more lateral site gets a bit closer to the joint capsule...

Well im off to pin myself now, hiopefully its a goodie :laugh:

Well i been now on phizer Cypionate for over 13 weeks. Last week was the first time i had serious glute pains. Injection went smooth no blood no nothing. The next day i could barely walk. I have no doubt in my mind that the gear is clean so this pain that yoau had could be from many reasons. Maybe you hit a nerve or something like that.

Well good luck Spike, if we don't hear from you again we will know you did not make it. :woohoo:

I generally get that from Xmas shopping-think it's because we get f#cked so hard by the "Season of Goodwill"

A

Did u hit the pavillion for ur xmas shopping?

Good point. Yeah pavilion was hell! Thank fck my shoppin is all done now. And i threw in some new gym gloves for myself and had the assistant at mr price ask me for training tips... Hahaha :weights

Hmmm... Worrying, but if it got better its probably not an infection. You say its still a bit tender, is it still red, warm, and swollen? If this disappeared you just had a bad pin, but if its still there I would be very concerned and have it checked out.

I also would never wipe the needle, those packages are sterile before opening, no need to risk introducing infectables...

A nice bite on the super test you say? Hmmm... Gonna run two or three vials in Jan, guess I better man the fuck up!

And spike bro, always aspirate! Something must be wrong if you frequently getting blood back in the syringe while doing this... :hmm

Im guessing it was fun :laugh:

Oh it brought joy to my life snok

@inja
The redness and swelling has gone away, the only pain i get is after much walking, think its just the scar tissue getting aggravated.

Yeah i think the blood i get when aspirating is due to the little ass slap i give myself before pinning so as to not feel the needle... :blush:
My bad, i'll stop that
