injection questions

tamer · 10-11-2007, 12:34 PM

so i'm on my first cycle...the last three injections i had someone do for me, and i wasn't able to get someone to do it for me this time, so i got over the fact that i was stabbing myself maned up and did it myself.

i'm wondering, using test-e, where is the best area of the glute to inject. i've been doing it in the back but when i tried doing it myself it was too hard to reach all the way around, so would it be ok it inject on the side of the glute? i finally got the plunger down, but i think i wiggled the needle around too much and i'm not in pain but it's definitely a little uncomfortable..i know i probabaly did some damage, but what's likely to happen? i don't want to wake up with my ass swollen and all fucked up...anything i can do to make sure it turns out ok before anything goes wrong?

i know i sound like a total noob, but thanks...

Never did a glute shot on myself.

Go to spotinjections.com. It will show you where on the glute you should inject. Basically if you were to divide your ass cheeck into 4 quarters you would want to hit the upper and outer quarter. Im pretty sure that you can also hit farther to the side, but I have never tried. I really prefer to do quad injects or delt injects although delts are not advisable with test e ( I still prefer that to glutes). You have a lot more control and like you said you dont move the needle around as much and you can actually see what you are doing. You should be fine as long as you used sterile injection technique, might be a bit irritated or sore but youll live. You can also do glute injects seated or lying down which would keep you from jerking the needle around as much.

i second triddy, lying down helps so you dont tense the glute up while trying to inject (hurts 3x as more), you probably did it fine tho and are just sore from the actual injection

I found doing it in my glute actually hurt alot more than doing it in my upper arm !! This is what i did.......obviously always use a new pin (not only for sterile reasons but if you actually looked at a pin that was usedunder a scope the tip actually can bend up and be more painful going in and pulling out), i would put a pin in the freezer bout 2hrs b4 inject and that seemed to help alot by shocking the nerve ends with the cold pin.

Just what i did

thanks for the input guys. i'll try to get it all sorted out for next time, and it really isn't as bad doing it to yourself as i thought!

Anyone want to mention Quads?

Each quad i have pin 2x's (upper and lower), hip, and glute. So on one leg that's 4 sites...should try it out.

hmm..i thought about doing it in the quad...but it just seems like it would hurt way more...i might give it a shot next time though..

i do it myself in the glute and ive had no problems, except for a little aching after but that soon goes.

hate quad shots. I avoid them like the plague. All tries and delts and have someone do traps if I really need a new spot. I can handle quad shpots with 5/8" pins. Stil hate them though.
