Okay so this is my first cycle and I used a 22 gage 1 inch and injected in the upper outside quadrant of the quad. It’s been 2 days and about 4-5 inches below the injection point, my quad is knotted up and warmish to the touch. Not to mention it hurts like I tore or sprained the muscle. Anybody ever had this happen?
Yes quads are one of the worst places to inject. What are you injecting? Go with glutes and your needle is far too big. 23ga is fine for me or even 25

….what was it that you injected?
Was it more than 250mg/ml?
Sustanon 250 was what was injected
Yeah it’s because Sus has prop in it. Short esters and quads are asking for pain. Also high concentrated gear like @EFShadow stated.

I recall reading somewhere that the prop ester is similar in structure to bee venom. I think it was a Dan Duchaine comment.

My favorite thing about quad injections is the squat workout the next day.

Okay so is sus better to administer in the glutes? Like I said I am new to this.
I am laughing a bit thinking about me using 22 gauge in glute like 20 years ago. Can’t imagine that in quad.

It’s going to hurt a bit either way but yes.
First time I self injected TRT I forgot to switch from my draw needle to my shot needle, ended up injecting with an 18 gauge. Think I still have a scar.
