Injection issue

[Texan69]

Sort of a newb post but screw it never had this happen so reaching out for advice.
Today while injecting 2cc of test e into my glute in the upper outer quadrant using 23g 1inch needle I made sure to inject at 90 degree angle to muscle and aspirated no issues there. Injected slowly and held the needle in for a few seconds after finishing then I noticed a little lump where I injected I pressed down on it and it burned so bad but the bump then decreased in size. No pain or discoloration other then the burning when pressing on it. Does not hurt anymore
my guess is maybe I didn’t go deep enough and went Sub Q instead of IM am about 12% BF fairly lean. Usually I use 1.5 inches for glutes but haven’t been able to find any BD 1.5 inch in stock so went with 1 incher for the last month but haven’t had issues using 1 inch in my glute

in the event I did go sub q instead of IM is the shot wasted or will I still absorb the test?

i am confident in pinning techniques so I don’t think that I pinned poorly
any feedback or advice would be aweosme.

had a cycle of test from Tijuana (testosterona) that did that

would leave a burning lump

but it didnt hurt and wouldnt disapear if you pushed on it

it would just slightly burn and slowly over the next few days disapear

double check that needle for a possible imperfection

my guess is you either repinned an exact spot or it is just a weird spot

some ventroglute spots hurt like hell once in a while some i cant even feel

have had more bad pins on quads though those seem like 1 out of 10 is a bitch

the ventoglute is like 1 out of 40

make sure you swab before pinning .

My guess is you'll be fine and live to fight another day.

Oh yeah of course, clean the top of vial before drawing, clean injection site and also wash my hands before
usually pin after a shower too
im a clean freak lol

Sorry about the double post ^^ not sure how to delete

I’ve always wondered though if you don’t quite get deep enough and go Sub Q instead of IM will the gear still get into your system or be a waste?
also y’all think 1 inch needle is long enough for glutes for 12% BF. Anybody got any feedback for those questions?

Yes it's long enough. You'll be good.

You can pin subQ or IM either way it works

You don’t need 1.5 for your glutes. My fat ass uses a 1”.

Did you press on the injection site ? Probably where the burning came from...you should fell it tomorrow in the gluten if you made it into the muscle.

Any time you go stabbing yourself weird shit can happen. Unless it's clammy and soft, red hot or black, and you don't have a fever, you are fine.

This I would bet came from you punching thru a vein on the way in and it pushed up on the skin trying to get out.

Need, no. But you should. 1.5 inch in glutes, just in my experience, has had way less issues than when I used 1 inch. I have less soreness, less low back tightness, less irritation in general with the longer needle. And this worked the same for me when I was 280+ as when I was 242 with ab veins.

1" is plenty and if some doesn't get deep, your body will find it so you didn't waste anything. A small lump happens from time to time.

 

[John Ziegler]

you pussys lol

i havent swabbed in years

just keep the open vials in a pill container to keep it clean

ive got an updated tetanus booster and am always cut up and scratched up by way worse shit then whatevers going on with that iddy biddy pin & stopper

I did not know that, I was always taught IM but Maybe that’s old school or just bro science

 

[automatondan]

I agree with Pillar... I bet you hit a vein. It happens to me when I pin quads every once in a while. You will probably get a little bruise there in the next couple days. Hopefully you didn't have a coughing fit too... Those suck.

Lol ab veins... what an image

 

[Seeker]

1.5 for glutes always. Just because you can use a 1 doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. 1.5 is best. and no...#beforespongyrecommendscalves

 

[transcend2007]

Are you currently using ventroglute as an injection site? It is my goto easiest to reach site.

No thank goodness because those do suck, I aspirated so I know I didn’t pin into a vein but ya maybe passed through one pretty bad
