Hey guys, just starting using my thighs as the site for my test/deca.
2ml being the limit of the shoulders I thought it best to move on to a bigger muscle. I liked the idea of the thigh as it’s convenient. No awkward twisting(for me) to do my butt.
Well after the first shot in my thigh, later that night it felt like I’d pulled my quad. Literally if you draw a line up the front of your thigh the lower third above your knee hurts. I assumed I’d got up awkwardly as that’s when I felt it. Fast forward to yesterday, I inject the other side. Same issue on that side later that night. This time I was just walking along when I started to notice it. I’m not injecting where this pain is. I’m going in my leg about half way up the side of my thigh between knee and hip. Just a coincidence?
I would say of all the groups where I had the most PIP (post injection pain) it would be upper quads (thighs). The bad news the PIP lasts a few days, the good news is that with time the injections start to hurt less.
Same problem with PIP on my right quad. It travelled down to my knee, and my thigh just above knee was super swollen, very extremely painful. Whole right quad, painful. Right knee is hurting again just remembering it.
The ?2nd? time I hit on my right thigh, I did hit a large nerve, not sure that caused it or not.
Left quad, absolutely zero problems. Is a perfect location. No PIP, very little insertion problems, and extremely easy access.
Thanks for the message. Did you inject into the side of the thigh or straight into the front facing part?
I find it too much of a coincidence that both quads got pulled or strained the day I inject into the thoughts for the first time either side. I must’ve hit something. I just thought it odd the pain is not where I injected.
I like the idea of VG as a site. It’s hard to find on your own though. For me anyway. Maybe if I was leaner it’d be easier. Plus my needle is an inch and a 1/4 in length. That seems too long for this site?
