Pain above Knee From Injecting In quads?

[E-volve]

so today I read on another forum a post from someone complaining that they get a pain a couple inches above there knee several hours after injecting in the quads.
Ive had a pain above my knee as well, but I thought it was just from going to heavy while working legs. I actually took last week off from legs becasue of it.
I dont know if mine is the same as what this person was complaining about, but now im curious.

So anyway, does this happen to anyone else and is there a reason why?

when I injected to low on my quad I had alot of pain around the knee and it got swollen.Took about 3 weeks to feel right again

I also try and pin higher on the quad becuase more meaty so never pinned low and experienced knee problems. not sure why you would look to deliberately pin lower than higher...

You're pissing off the IT band. Foam roll the side of your quads.

Depending on the side, it could be IT band as POB mentioned or any of the muscles that attach at the pes anserinus

when I inject quads its on the outter. Perhaps my technique isnt good.
I go about a hand and finger length from the hips down my leg.
I usually inject 3cc's. Perhaps to much for me? I usually have muscle pain about 36 hours later at the injection site. Just feels like I got a stiff muscle.

How big are your thighs? 3cc is prob ok. I pin 1/2 way from hip joint to knee.

well I didnt wanna advertise the place by saying its name lol.
I actually browse many places. I remember I did that a lot years ago when I was using. This is my first cycle in 13 years. So yeah, surfed all over reading. These BB boards dont seem as active though as they were in the late 90's guess not as many using or lifting these days.....and now im off topic lol

I've only ever pinned my quads for my trt the last going on 3yrs. Granted my quantity is much lower but I have always put a hand on my quad by my crotch and shoot somewhere just below where my hand stops. I found too I get less pin pain shooting more on the top of the quad vs the side, side can be a little sensative in places. But haven't experienced knee pain from pinning, just pain from being old and joints worn out.

Way back some 8 or so years ago I would as POB said, midway in quad, but I never had an issue.. also I used 22g and 20g .. :shrug:

Huh...what exactly are you talking about


Never mind didn’t read the whole title

I got pain in my knee when I didn't push the pin in far enough into my quad....you could almost feel the oil making its way down your leg.
