Quad injection site.

So I tried a new injection site today.. my right quad. I typically rotate 6 sites ( glutes, VG, and delts) but I pin ED and sometimes 2x a day, so I decided to add some new sites. Landed on quads, the shot itself was fine but now about 2 hours later it feels sore as fuck and certain movements make it feel extra painful. Is this normal for quads? I know since it’s a virgin muscle there’s gonna be some soreness but I hope I’m able to walk tomorrow. You guys that pin quads regularly have any suggestions/ tips on pinning them? I did the outer quad on my right leg, halfway between my knee and groin and I went in on a 45 degree angle (ish). Any tips are highly appreciated. I’ve heard both good and bad things about quad shots so I just want to know if this is a viable option.
 
Quads can be a crap shoot. Some guys love them, other guys just can't do it.

I would probably rather include my pecs and lats before I added in my quads again.
You could even add in some subq shots.

I've never heard of the method you're describing.
If you're intent on adding the quads in I would separate each leg by a stretch of other areas to avoid having both legs sore untill you get accustomed to it.
What you're pinning needs to be considered as well.

Quads are horrible, not sure how anyone does them. When I do end up having to do them I use a 27g 1/2” and in relatively the same area u pinned and have yet to have bad pip, just make sure u really massage the area post injection
 
I have done two cycles with quads. Quads are a crapshoot. MOST of the time I am good, but on the off chance you are a MILLIMETER off, you'll know about it 😂

I have a mole... I ALWAYS pin near it. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not. It doesn't make much sense.

I did it with a 30g half inch insulin needle. I’m sub 10% BF so I can get away with IM shots with it. There’s no pip at all, just feels more sore than I remember other muscles being when I first pinned them

lol, way too low.

You need to go about a hands width down from your hip joint, and pin the outer edge. No pip there.

You pinned where I did when I didn’t know what I was doing and always by day 3 I could barely bend my leg to crouch down.

The higher you go, the less pip you get.

Heat pad helps, good luck

Oh I almost forgot to mention. Then only time I ever had pain come on that fast was when I had an infection. Pip was always the next day.

I can second this. Had an infection from my very first tren quad injection. I just wasn't deep enough, not paying attention.

It healed up in a few days, but it wasn't so sure for a while.

If it’s an infection I’ll know cause it’ll be red, hot, and inflamed no? Fuck man, starting to think quads might’ve been a bad idea

Live and learn. Some swear by them. I use them when I run 2 injectables. Only so many places I can inject 1cc at a time, and my baby delts don't seem to like that much.

Anyway, on topic. Yes, it will be slightly inflamed. Mine was more red and hot than anything, very little swelling. Temperature is going to be a big indicator.

By tommorow you’ll know. There will be swelling at your knee. Infections always travel down. As time passes you won’t be able to barely bend your knee.

Trust me, you;l know, it’s not like normal pip.

Quads are not a bad idea. If you got an infection, it had nothing to do with where you pinned.

I have likely done 500 quad shots.

My very first ever injection I got celluitis from a quad shots, but I fucked up and believe I touched the needle, I was shaking so bad, thinking who in the fuck at 43 decides to inject illegal steroids for their first time, lol.

It will continue to get worse every hour.

They give you pills and your issue is fixed, so I’d wait till tomorrow night and then figure out what to do. If you are in extreme pain, you push on the skin above your knee and it goes white for a few seconds before turning normal and it’s swollen, well head to the er, or medi Center.

You’ll know for sure by morning of day 3, it should either be steady, or reducing. If it’s worse it’s an infection.
 
Don’t freak yourself out thinking it’s an infection. They won’t have to cut out muscle or anything like that.
IMO I think that happens when someone puts off going to the hospital for days, week. 2 days or the 3rd pills will do the trick, and after 6 or so hours it starts to feel better, next day dramatic improvement.

When I got my second infection in my tricep, by the evening of the second day I knew what I had, I went to the er that evening.

The swelling and pain will move towards the joint, it is really painful and comes on fast. Pip is usually the next day, and worse on day 3, infection is bad by next morning, getting unbearable by day 3

I’ve never had an infection in the 3 years I’ve been pinning (and I pin ED) so over a thousand shots easy. Tbh the quads feeling better now, I think it was just the fact it’s virgin muscle and I went in super slow.
